Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD has finalized new long-term concession agreements for retail and food services at Burgas and Varna airports. The agreements were reached after a competitive tender process, awarding Lagardere Travel Retail the Master Retail Concession for all landside outlets at both airports.

We highly appreciate Fraport Twin Star Airport Management AD's commitment to the development of both airports."
Svetlana Simeonova, Head of Commercial at Fraport Twin Star, added: “We are excited to welcome our trusted partners, Lagardere Travel Retail and Gingers... These agreements will not only bring leading international and local brands to our airports but also significantly enhance the overall passenger journey.”
