“We are observing an optimistic trend for the increase of passengers at Sofia Airport, with their number reaching nearly 7 million last year. The goal we have all set for ourselves is to complete the planned projects in the concessionaire’s investment plan as soon as possible, part of which is the zone for duty-free trade.
