Sofia Airport operates in winter conditions
Today, 26.02.2018, Sofia Airport operates in heavy snow and winter conditions.
The runway for take-off and landing, the taxiways and the apron are cleaned from snow. Aircraft de-icing procedures are carried out. Due to the snowfall, flights are operated with some deviation from the schedule.
We urge citizens to take into account the winter conditions and allow enough time to travel to the airport. Departing passengers are advised to arrive at least two hours before their flights.
