Bulgaria Air ((ブルガリア語:България Ер)), is the national carrier of Bulgaria,〔 with its headquarters at Sofia Airport in Sofia.〔"(Contacts )." Bulgaria Air. Retrieved on 10 May 2010. "Head office 1, Brussels Blvd Sofia Airport Sofia 1540" (Address in Bulgarian ): "бул. "Брюксел" № 1 Летище София София 1540"〕 The company is owned by Chimimport Inc. and is a leader in terms of local market share. In 2008, according to the company's Annual Report, Bulgaria Air carried 1,185,430 passengers. Bulgaria Air’s fleet consists of 13 aircraft for short and medium range flights. ==History== The airline was established in 2002〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://visegradplus.org/comapnies/bulgaria-air/ )〕 as a successor to the insolvent Balkan Bulgarian Airlines and commenced operations on 4 December that year. By order of the Minister of Transport and Communications it was declared the national flag carrier in November 2002. Bulgaria Air began operations using the name "Balkan Air Tour." The airline was known by that name for just a short period of time. The name "Bulgaria Air" and initial logo were determined by a public competition.〔(About Bulgaria Air ). Air.bg (23 September 2009). Retrieved 21 December 2010.〕 Bulgaria Air was privatised in 2006; although it was rumoured that the government wanted to sell the carrier to a major foreign investor, a group of locally owned companies, led by Hemus Air, emerged as the buyer with Italian airline Air One being the only other contender.〔(Candidate for Bulgaria Air selected – Business ). The Sofia Echo (30 October 2006). Retrieved 21 December 2010.〕 Hemus Air reportedly paid €6.6m and promised to invest a further €86m over the next five years.〔(Bulgaria Air Deal Completed – Bulgaria ). ''The Sofia Echo'' (5 January 2007). Retrieved 21 December 2010.〕 Since then all flights and operations of Hemus Air and its subsidiary Viaggio Air are under name and management of the merged company, Bulgaria Air. On 20 November 2008, Bulgaria Air became a full member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). In mid-2011 Bulgaria Air announced that after a thorough analysis of its destinations it had chosen to purchase seven new Embraer E-190 aircraft. The delivery of the first aircraft was in early 2012, whilst the remaining aircraft were delivered later in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bulgaria Air」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
