Nov 24, 2005 (newstodate): Bulgaria's Sofia International Airport will be in for a busy but traoubled season this winter.
While trafic volumes are expected to explode by some 40 percent during the winter period, construction works are delayed and lagging behind schedules.
Construction of a much needed new runway impedes traffic during the night, and the new passenger terminal that should be opened for traffic in August will be delayed for some eight months.
The new 3,600 m runway should be ready for operations from February, 2006, but it, too, will face delays, sources say.
