An incident involving a drone that entered the Sofia Airport area on February 7, causing the disruption of 6 flights, led to a meeting today initiated by Deputy Premier and Minister of Transport and Communications, Grozdan Karadzhov. The meeting focused on discussing technical solutions to prevent unauthorized drone entries into the approaches and areas for takeoff and landing at Bulgarian airports.
According to Minister Karadzhov, the specific case appears to be a provocation or an attempt to test the airport's security systems. He emphasized that the drone in question was a specially designed "wing" type drone, weighing over 30 kilograms, and its operation requires special training. It is concerning that the drone initially positioned itself near the aircraft landing approaches, and when the planes were rerouted, the drone also moved, said Grozdan Karadzhov. Pre-trial proceedings have been initiated in the case
