Peter
Voets, easyJet's marketing manager for Switzerland, Austria and
Eastern Europe, said that the strong business connections between the
two capitals, as well as the fact that numerous Bulgarians work and
study in Germany, will contribute to the new route's success.
Voets
hopes that approximately 30 000 passengers will be serviced by the
end of 2013.
The
carrier will operate year-round flight four times a week (Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) from Sofia Airport to
Berlin-Schonefeld Airport.
easyJet
already services a total of 4 two-way flights to and from Bulgaria,
including daily flights between Sofia Airport and London Gatwick, and
flights between Sofia Airport and Manchester Airport.
easyJet,
considered to be the second-biggest low fare airline company after
Ryanair, set foot on the Bulgarian market in November 2007 with
low-cost flights to London Gatwick three times a week on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays.
