13 October 2023 News
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Maria Gabriel and Minister of Transport and Communications Georgi Gvozdeikov informed that the government Airbus plane is flying to Tel Aviv and will return to Sofia this evening with Bulgarian citizens on board.
The previously scheduled charter flight of a private company for 13 October was not carried out due to an objective impossibility to obtain the necessary permits for the flight.
The Bulgarian citizens who had signed up for the charter flight tonight from Tel Aviv to Bulgaria, via the email submitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs [email protected], will have the opportunity to travel on the government plane, and will be reimbursed in full and on time.
The government plane remains on standby for the next flight in order to transport to Bulgaria the remaining Bulgarian citizens in need - families with small children and people who are currently in the most threatened areas in Israel.
We would like to remind you that the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Tel Aviv has two emergency telephones, which citizens can contact around the clock.
