Bulgaria's Varna Airport opened a new cargo storage, equipped with video cameras and an x-ray device for processing shipments to meet requirements of the airline companies that use the airport.

The storage was built after various companies expressed interest to carry out cargo-flights using the Varna airport, BGNES news agency said.

Varna Airport’s new cargo zone passed all checks needed and received logistic activity permit from the customs.

In mid-October 2007, Fraport Twin Airport Management, the concessionaire of Bulgaria’s two coastal airports Varna and Bourgas, received a first class investor certificate for the enlargement and modernisation of the Bourgas Airport. The investment was worth 49.6 million euro.

Fraport manages the airports since November 2006. The company announced it would invest a total of 403 million euro in the two airports.
