The low-cost airline "Wizz Air" has canceled its flights to Bulgaria, not to other countries, because there is a lack of control. This was explained by the Minister of Transport, Georgi Gvozdeikov, to "Nova TV". He specified that from now on, fines will be imposed on the carrier in such cases, and called on the victims to seek help directly from the ministry.

The airline is almost doubling its annual passenger traffic to 45.7 million passengers in 2022 on all its routes compared to 21.7 million in 2021.

As a hedge against the deep uncertainty, airlines are likely to push point-to-point trips to European summer destinations.

Planned flights to France, Greece and Portugal are down by less than 8% on pre-crisis 2019 levels, while Egypt and Tunisia are down by a quarter, according to flight data specialist OAG - although all are set to fall further.
