European low cost air carrier easyJet will enter the Bulgarian market in the autumn of 2007.
It will fly between Sofia and London three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, investor.bg reported.
One-way tickets will cost 33.99 euro and return tickets 75.77 euro with taxes included.
EasyJet flights will start on November 6 from Sofia to Gatwick, the company's largest base.
EasyJet representatives said that they were eager to present their product to Bulgaria. They said the new Sofia-London route will offer new opportunities for business trips and holidays to Bulgarian and foreign passengers.
EasyJet is the first air carrier in Europe that developed the low-cost business model.
Strong public opposition to price hikes prompted Prime Minister Boiko Borissov to axe the Finance Ministry proposal to increase the excise duty on spirits, but MPs have put it back on the agenda.
