Oct 04, 2018 (newstodate): The latest efforts by Bulgaria to attract foreign investors to a tender for managing Sofia Airport may seem more successful than earlier attempts.
According to media reports, Manchester Airports Group has confirmed a bid for the concession to operate Bulgaria's Sofia Airport put up for privatization in a tender opened in Q1, 2018.
Last year's efforts ended without results as the tender - despite repeated renewals of the deadline - failed to attract sufficient interest among potential bidders.
Talks about privatization of the airport have actually been going on since 2011.
But Bulgaria now seems to be encouraged by the recent successful tendering of Serbia's Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport that ended with the French company Vinci signing a contract for a 25-year concession.
Manchester Airports Group is reportedly partnering with Chinas Beijing Construction Engineering Group, extending a cooperation already working on the Airport City UK construction project in Manchester.
