Bulgarian Eagle, the ACMI carrier recently founded by the Germania Group, has received its official certification. Now that all the necessary documents and licences have been obtained and a flawless demonstration flight completed, the Bulgarian aviation authority has cleared the new airline for take-off. The latest addition to flight operations, an Airbus A319 with 150 seats, will be based in London-Gatwick. The first aircraft bearing the Germania livery will initially operate on Germania routes. Bulgarian Eagle was founded in November 2016. Ralf Nagel, CEO and Accountable Manager of the Bulgarian airline, is proud to have reached this decisive milestone: “We are delighted with the start of flight operations and with our close cooperation and integration with the Germania Group. As our fleet expands, we can well imagine that in future we will also make our services available to other airlines.”
