Burgas Airport can handle up to 21 aircraft movements per hour and approximately 50,000 passengers per day, which is why a large-scale infrastructure expansion is not required due to the contest. However, the number of additional scheduled or charter flights cannot yet be predicted.

Depending on the final flight program, the necessary staff, use of the terminal infrastructure, baggage handling and passenger flow management will be planned. The airport operator is already in talks with a wide range of airlines and partners to develop the route network, attract additional services and increase flight frequencies in 2027.

The seaside city will host the contest after Bulgarian singer Dara won this year's edition. The two semi-finals will be held on May 11 and 13 and the final is on May 15.
