For many years, Bulgarian Voyage Air had to struggle to get airborne. It only succeeded in 2020 with an elderly Boeing 737-500. Flight operations were discontinued just one year later, only to take off again in the summer of 2020 with an even older Boeing 737-400. Now the only machine has been phased out.

Voyage Air's AOC and operating license are currently on hold. The carrier applied to the Bulgarian Civil Aviation Authority earlier this year and received permission in March 2023. For the time being, you are not allowed to operate commercial flights for at least six months at your own request. It was last in the air in September 2022.

Voyage Air was founded in 2007. Since 2009, attempts have been made to obtain approval as an airline. Only in 2020 has it managed to get airborne. At that time, a Boeing 737-500, registered as LZ-TER, was used. This aircraft was originally delivered to China Southern Airlines in 1992. However, the Bulgarian carrier was not permanently successful, because just one year later flight operations had to be temporarily suspended.

In the summer of 2022, Voyage Air was back in the air with the Boeing 33-737, which is now over 400 years old and has the registration LZ-PRS. The former plans to build a base in Bremen were even picked up again, but in the end it didn't come to that. This machine, which was leased, has now been returned to the lessor. It remains to be seen whether there will be a new lessee for the oldie or whether it will be sold immediately.

The future of Voyage Air is completely open. The sale of airline tickets has long since stopped and the homepage seems like a hodgepodge of non-functionality. The AOC and operating license are currently on hold. If the status is not extended or if the carrier resumes operations with another aircraft, the Bulgarian civil aviation authority could finally withdraw the certificates.

Voyage Air once wanted to connect Graz in Austria with Varna and Burgas in addition to other German airports. However, flights from Austria never took place. According to reports, only weak capacity utilization is said to have been achieved from Germany, which could also be due to the corona pandemic.
