Apr 12, 2019 (newstodate): An Anglo-Chinese consortium has submitted a bid to take over Bulgaria's Sofia Airport.
The consortium comprises Manchester Airport Group and its Chinese investment partner, Beijing Construction Engineering Group
The consortium is aiming at landing a 35 year contract to operate and develop Sofia Airport, including plans for redeveloping the airport's existing terminals as well as constructing a new Terminal 3.
Efforts in 2018 by Bulgaria to seek bids in the tender process for Sofia Airport 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
