The Plovdiv Regional Governor, Ivan Totev, will attend the ceremony for the official launch of regular flights between London and Bulgaria's second largest city of Plovdiv.

The flights would be executed by the budget career Ryanair.

The first passengers will land in Plovdiv at 11 am Tuesday at the Plovdiv airport brand new terminal.

Totev says regular flights from and to Plovdiv are one of the main steps towards the Region's economic recovery. Upon taking office, the Governor vowed to make the airport development a priority.

"After one year of determination and thanks to the joint effort of the State, the airport's management and the municipalities, the launch of the regular line of the Irish Ryanair is now a fact," Totev says.
