“The authorities will impose the strictest sanctions, including termination of the concession contract with the concessionaire of Sofia Airport if security there is not improved. That includes staff training and improvement of techniques,” Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport in the caretaker government Hristo Aleksiev stated.
His words come as a reaction to a regular specific check by the European Commission which established a security breach. The inspectors managed to smuggle parts of an explosive device without being detected or stopped which jeopardizes the lives of the passengers, the public and the staff. “The deficiencies have to be rectified before the next European Commission inspection,” Minister Aleksiev said.
