Bulgarian-Armenian Business Forum Announces Direct Burgas-Yerevan Flights

Direct flights between Burgas and Yerevan were announced at a Bulgarian-Armenian business forum here on Thursday. The launch of direct flights on June 4 is shaping up to be a key factor in strengthening economic exchange between Bulgaria and Armenia, said Burgas Mayor Dimitar Nikolov at the forum’s official opening.

The direct flights, which will be operated every Thursday by Electra Airways, will provide the necessary logistical connectivity for business, significantly facilitating direct contacts and shortening the route for goods and investments between the two countries, he explained. Nikolov emphasized the strategic importance of Burgas as a potential gateway to the European Union market for Armenian manufacturers.

The EuroBridge Bulgarian-Armenian Expo Forum brings together representatives from the logistics, real estate, investment, and manufacturing sectors, who focus on establishing new sustainable business partnerships. The opening ceremony was also attended by Armenian Ambassador to Bulgaria Tsovinar Hambardzumyan. A wide range of products are presented during the event – from construction materials and jewellery to food and beverage products, including health foods, tea, and coffee.

The forum is organized by the global business network Made by Armenia, the Armenian-Bulgarian Association for Cooperation, and AM-BG IMPEX, with the support of Armenia’s Economy Ministry, the Armenian Embassy in Bulgaria, the Armenian-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Economy, the Municipality of Burgas, and the Burgas Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The programme will continue on April 17 with business meetings throughout the day, and on April 18, the forum will be open to visitors.
