Omega Aviation (AviaVIP)
VIP / business-aviation handling (FBO) at Plovdiv. Corroborated by two independent sources: (1) AviaVIP's 28-May-2024 partnership press release explicitly names Plovdiv (LBPD) among Omega's Bulgarian airports, and (2) a live, dedicated AviaVIP Plovdiv FBO page (Terminal 1, Krumovo) listing on-site personnel, customs/border assistance, lounge, security and multilingual staff, hours 06:00-20:00 UTC with extensions on request. Published Plovdiv-specific contacts are ••• / ••• (FBO Manager Toni Totov); the previously claimed ••• / ••• is Omega's general Sofia HQ line, not the Plovdiv station. · 06:00-20:00 UTC; extensions on request

Plovdiv Airport Ltd. (Letishte Plovdiv EAD)
'Fuel and Oil Handling' is listed in the airport's licensed ground-handling scope. Corroborated by Lukoil Aviation Bulgaria's own site, which states that at airports other than Sofia and Bourgas the fuelling activity is subcontracted to the airport operator - i.e. the airport performs into-plane delivery at Plovdiv. Product is JET A-1 (per third-party airport directories; the airport page itself does not name the grade).

Lukoil Aviation Bulgaria EOOD
Into-plane fuel supplier. Plovdiv is explicitly named in Lukoil Aviation Bulgaria's Bulgarian network (Sofia, Bourgas, Varna, Plovdiv, Gorna Oriahovitsa) on both its General Information and Services pages; product JET A-1. The company notes that outside Sofia/Bourgas (where it holds its own handling licence) the fuelling is subcontracted to the airport operator, so at Plovdiv the supply is executed via the airport. Contact is company HQ in Sofia (••• / •••); no separate published Plovdiv station line.
