The seaside airports of Varna and Burgas are set to enhance their passengers' experience by introducing the environmentally sustainable Gate Garden concept in early summer, reports BTA, citing concessionaire Fraport Twin Star Airport Management, which operates the two airports. 

The Gate Garden concept, which has no equivalent in Europe, involves the construction of open, terraced green spaces with a low carbon footprint, natural ventilation and sunlight.

As well as reducing carbon emissions, it is expected to improve the quality of passenger service and provide greater flexibility in the operation of terminal infrastructure as part of the Schengen regime.

According to Fraport's website, the project will provide a "unique customer experience for all passengers and guests at Varna and Burgas airports through new innovative retail, relaxation and recreation areas". Fraport CEO Dr Frank Quante added: "I am very proud of this creative and innovative investment project! Especially as the idea and the concept were developed in an excellent way by our team!"

The official opening of the new areas at both airports is planned for early summer, when most tourists are expected to arrive at Bulgaria's Black Sea coast.
