More than two-thirds of the passengers at Sofia Airport will pass through the terminals faster once Bulgaria enters Schengen by air on 31 March because there will be no passport control, said Jesus Caballero, CEO of the company operating Sofia airport, in an interview with Sega news website. The free passage corridors will open overnight. “We have been ready for a long time because we passed several checks by the EU, which also contributed to the accession to Schengen,” he said further. Flights will be distributed between Terminals 1 and 2 differently than they are now, and an information campaign will be launched together with airline companies so there will be no passengers going to the wrong terminal.
Burgas Airport also says it is ready for Schengen. “Terminal 2 was specifically designed to meet the requirements of Schengen passenger service,” Burgas Airport director Georgi Chipilski said for the Bulgarian news agency BTA.
70% of the passengers at the airports in Sofia and in Burgas come from the Schengen countries.
