    Bulgaria's BH Air to fly Sofia - Kuala Lumpur route - Стандарт

    Bulgarian air carrier BH Airlines will operate a Sofia - Kuala Lumpur - Sofia route. The line was agreed between Bulgaria and Malaysia back in 1970. The airline has six months to begin operations, the press office of the Council of Ministers informed.

    The appointment of the Bulgarian air carrier to connect the aviation markets of Bulgaria and Malaysia will contribute to increasing passenger traffic to and from these countries, will create conditions to increase revenue from the carriage of passengers and goods and will enhance trade and economic relations between Bulgaria and Malaysia, including Southeast Asia and the Pacific, said the study.

    BH Air was founded in 2001 and began operations in January 2002 with flights from Sofia for needs of the UK tour operator "Balkan Holidays" - London.

    In 2007 after the work with Virgin Group and gaining experience, BH Air participated in the creation of a new airline in Sri Lanka - Mihin Lanka.

    In July, 2014 the airline add the first Airbus A330 (LZ-AWA). The aircraft will be used for direct long-haul flights from Sofia to cities in the United States such as New York and Chicago. From the Spring of 2015 the company will start regular flights from Sofia Airport to New York and Chicago.95a9d73bf8587ece4d7d8c6d29c7d015_400x300

    An airplane carrying 40 passengers crashed in a residential area after taking off from Tehran's Mehrabad airport on Sunday morning, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported, citing a spokesman for the Iranian Red Crescent Society and its own reporter.


    Initial reports were that 40 passengers, including seven children, were killed in the crash, IRNA reported. No information was available on whether anyone on the ground was injured.


    The plane was bound for Tabas in northeastern Iran and crashed into the Azad residential block on Mina 6 Boulevard, it reported.


    IRNA reported that an engine shutdown caused the crash. Iran's aviation sector has suffered repeated crashes which have been blamed by Iranian politicians on international sanctions.







    Those sanctions have restricted Iranian carriers from buying new aircraft. For years, planes have been kept in service through parts imported on the black market, cannibalised from other planes or reproduced locally, aviation sources say.


    Iran's four largest carriers – Iran Air, Iran Aseman Airlines, Mahan Air and Iran Air Tours – all have average fleet ages above 22 years, Iranian media have reported. They serve a market of 76 million people.


    U.S. companies Boeing Co and General Electric Co have said they are seeking to export parts to Iran under the agreement for sanctions relief.


    The chief of Iran Air said the airline will need at least 100 passenger jets once sanctions against the country are lifted.


    Mehrabad is located in a western suburb of Tehran and mainly functions as a domestic airport, although it also serves some international routes
