JAN 13, 2005 (newstodate): Sofia Airport is expected to regain its Cat II classification by January 17.
The airport's designation was lowered after an inspection that showed cracks and ruptures in the surface of tarmac and taxi-ways. These have now been repaired.
The problems of construction of the new runway, however, continue to build as a yet-unmapped scrap dump has been detected across its course.
Removal of the dump and depositing og earth will probably cause a seven-months delay to the troubled project.
