Plovdiv International Airport

Plovdiv International Airport-car rental-(Bulgarian: , Mezhdunarodno letishte Plovdiv) (IATA: PDV, ICAO: LBPD) is the airport of the second largest city in Bulgaria, Plovdiv. Often referred to as Plovdiv Krumovo Airport, a small village located 12 km south-east away from the city on the main highway Plovdiv-Asenovgrad.

The airport also plays a vital role in case of emergencies and is sometimes used as a substitute for Sofia Airport-car rental, which is almost 150 km away or 1.5 hour drive on the Trakiya motorway.

Plans for reconstruction

Althought the airport is operated from the state-owned Mezhdunarodno letishte Plovdiv EAD and the runway and the apron are also state-owned; the terminal is partly private. That made the renovation of the terminal very difficult. Today the terminal is 58.08% owned by Alfa Finance Holding (former owner of these shares was the Swiss firm TADO) and the rest of the shares belongs to the state-owned "Mezhdunarodno letishte Plovdiv" EAD. The problems in agreement with the private owners of the terminal brought the decision from the state to build new terminal and to extend the apron. The renovation process will beginn at the end of 2008, choosing a contractor for the apron extension and design for the new terminal building. The cost are estimated to be €20,000,000. According to the british consultants from Airport Strategy&Marketing, which were hired to investigate possibilities for developing new routes, there is big interest from low-cost carriers like Ryanair and Wizz Air Bulgaria-car rental.
