Coordination only. Fraport page states refueling is 'ensured in cooperation with big companies of the petroleum business'; physical into-plane delivery is by the fuel supplier (Lukoil), not Fraport itself.

Fuel supplier at Varna (Jet A-1 from Lukoil Neftohim Burgas refinery; ASTM-D-1655 / DEF STAN 91-91). Correction to claim: per Lukoil's own General Information page, it is the licensed into-plane operator only at Sofia and Bourgas; at the other airports incl. Varna the refueling activity is subcontracted to the airport operator, so Lukoil supplies but does not directly perform into-plane at VAR.
