Despite the raging global financial crisis, the Sofia International Airport registered an after-tax profit of BGN 30,4 M in 2008, which is a 39% increase compared to the 2007 levels.
The news was announced Monday by the Airport's CEO, Plamen Stanchev, as quoted by the Pari Daily.

In 2008, Bulgaria's largest airport serviced 3 230 696 passengers, which is 17,6% more than the number of passengers in 2007. Stanchev pointed out that this was a remarkable increase in light of the continuing global financial crisis, which has affected international travel.
