Oct 10, 2006 (newstodate): March 28, 2007, is the deadline for retiring all Bulgarian-registered cargo aircraft, unless the EU certification problem is solved.
The Bulgarian cargo airlines rely on use of AN-12, AN-24 and AN-26 aircraft that constitute 30 percent of all the country's aircraft, but fall short of EU-cerfication.
Bulgaria's cargo operators are now lobbying EU for a solution, including an extended grace period, to allow for a solution to the crisis that may ground the entire fleet
