Bulgaria hosts for the first time the Economic Committee of the European Airports Association

Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications Anna Natova opened the Economic Committee of the European Association of Airports - ACI EUROPE. Bulgaria hosts the 46th meeting of the Committee, which is held for the first time in Bulgaria. The organizer of the event is Sofia Airport operator SOF Connect.

Deputy Minister Anna Natova said that our country's strategic geographical position creates the necessary preconditions for increasing air traffic and the number of passengers passing through Bulgarian airports. "We are working closely with airport operators in Bulgaria to attract more airlines and open new routes. We expect SOF Connect to realize the goals set in its investment program, which will create conditions for the transformation of the capital's airport into a five-star regional hub," Deputy Minister Natova said.

The meeting of the Economic Committee of the European Airport Association - ACI EUROPE is attended by representatives of leading European airports. Some of the topics of the forum are related to the updating of European aviation policies, the digital transformation of airports and the development of cargo drones.
