About Gorna Oryahovitsa Airport

Gorna Oryahovitsa Airport

Gorna Oryahovitsa Airport is an international airport near Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. It is used predominantly for cargo, as the last regular passenger flights to Sofia were abolished in the end of the last decade. The airport is believed to have a very good prospective, because of its location in the centre of the country, the lack of big airports nearby, and the huge number of tourists in the area coming from abroad. Currently, it is the least developed of the five international airports in Bulgaria in terms of infrastructure and services.
