The concession for Gorna Oryahovitsa airport for service. Despite the crisis in the past two years, the airport reported a small profit. According to a report MTITC it is the largest capacity development and the opportunity to become the largest cargo airport in the Balkans.
Despite the declared interest of foreign companies real candidates for concession of the two airports has not recurred, although the deadline was extended again. Once scheduled, and the second tender had indicated an interest, the deadline was again extended until April 20, 1012 for Ruse airport and April 2, 2012 for the Gorna Oryahovitsa airport.
