At that time BUL AIR successfully operated six IL-18 aircraft on charter destinations around Europe, Asia, Africa and the the USSR, and after merging with the Bulgarian national carrier TABSO became part of BALKAN –Bulgarian Airlines. Today In 2015 the brand BUL AIR was revived as a privately-owned company to provide the best in class quality, safety and comfort on charter services.
