BOJ Bourgas

How deep the BOJ board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from BOJ. This reads the same 52 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 40of the 52 destinations are flown by one airline
• 37destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 21.2%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at BOJ

25 airlines appear on the BOJ board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 11 of the 52 destinations, 21.2 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 10.4 of the 37.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Jet2 on 10 destinations. 12 of the 25 airlines at BOJ appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 21.2 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 40 of the 52 sectors at BOJ do not.

How much of the BOJ board is daily

Of the 52 destinations, 15 are flown at least once a day and 37 are not, 7 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the BOJ board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: BOJ to Yerevan (EVN) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 11.4 of the 37.4 departures a day, 30.6 per cent of the whole board. With 71.2 per cent of the 52 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of BOJ where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 25 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from BOJ

The desk holds the return direction for 43 of the 52 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On four of them the return into BOJ runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Dresden (DRS) at 0.57 out a day against 0.14 back, Berlin (BER) at 1.1 out a day against 0.71 back and Helsinki (HEL) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 0.86 a day back into BOJ against 0.43 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at BOJ

BOJ keeps Europe/Sofia time, an hour behind Dubai in summer and two hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 08:00 at BOJ, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at BOJ and still make a departure the same day.

The night at BOJ

10 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from BOJ that lands inside it leaves around 22:39, on a modelled block of 1h 51m. Into Düsseldorf (DUS) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from BOJ that lands inside it leaves around 20:09, on a modelled block of 2h 51m. Into Berlin (BER) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from BOJ that lands inside it leaves around 20:34, on a modelled block of 2h 26m. Those three departure times out of BOJ are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where BOJ turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Bulgaria country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 3 airport pair pages that start or end at BOJ, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Bourgas to Bratislava (BTS), Bourgas to Hanover (HAJ) and Bourgas to Nottingham (EMA).

Five courier postings name BOJ as the airport a courier here flies from: Varna, Burgas and Stara Zagora.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with BOJ already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 52 destinations above.
