Charter traffic during this period often connects Varna with cities such as London, Vienna, Zurich, Istanbul and Dubai, as visitors travel to nearby destinations including Golden Sands, Albena and Sunny Beach.
Is Varna commonly used as an arrival point for Bulgaria’s Black Sea resorts?
Yes. Many private jet travellers fly directly into Varna Airport (VAR / LBWN) before continuing to resorts along the northern Bulgarian coastline. Destinations such as Golden Sands and Albena can typically be reached within 20 to 40 minutes by road, making Varna one of the most convenient aviation gateways to the Black Sea.

Why do some private jet travellers choose Varna instead of other Black Sea airports?
Varna is one of the most established aviation gateways on the western Black Sea, offering direct access to a concentration of resorts, marinas and coastal developments along northern Bulgaria. For travellers visiting multiple destinations along the coast, private jet flights to and from Varna often form part of wider itineraries across southeastern Europe.
