Bulgaria's Transport Minister, Aleksander Tsvetkov, attended Tuesday the official ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of the presence of the German flag carrier Lufthansa in Bulgaria.

The event was held at the Sofia Airport where a crew in retro uniforms met the passengers from flight LH 3484, arriving from Frankfurt.

In the last 40 years, Lufthansa became one of the leading airlines operating in Bulgaria. The company has also made significant investments, estimated at BGN 20 M, in Lufthansa Technic, its company for maintenance and repair of aircraft. It is located near the airport and is the only one on the Balkans having the capacity for repairing Airbus and Boeing craft.

Tsvetkov wished the management another 40 successful years in Bulgaria and bestowed them with an album with pictures from the fist Lufthansa flight in the country.
