Three airlines to halt flights to Sofia in winter
Three air carriers will suspend flights to Sofia in the winter season, the winter flight schedule published on Sofia Airport's website shows.
Swiss International Air Lines will halt flights from Bulgaria's capital to Zurich. Flights to Copenhagen, by Denmark's Cimber Sterling, will be also terminated in the winter. Turkey's low-cost carrier Pegasus will suspend flights to Istanbul.
It is unclear, however, whether flights will be halted only for the winter or for a longer period.
Meanwhile, Sofia Airport said that Russian airline Rossiya had expressed interest in starting charter flights once a week to St Petersburg from January 2012.
