Sofia Airport Launches 40 New Vending Machines



Sofia airport launched Tuesday 40 food and coffee vending machines – 26 on Terminal Two and 14 on Terminal One.

The machines were presented in person by Transport Minister, Aleksander Tsvetkov, who said that food and coffee to be sold from vending would be, most likely, the cheapest in Europe.

Coffee is priced at BGN 1.50 to BGN 2 compared to BGN 5 at coffee shops on Terminal Two, until now the only option for coffee lovers waiting for flights.

All snacks are priced at BGN 1.

The company winning bidder in the vending public tender is "
Verdika."
Its owner, Stanko Stanoev, informs each machine costs between BGN 7 000 and 12000, adding he hopes to begin making profits after the 3rd year of the 5-year contract with any luck.

If you have ever been to Sofia airport then you will know that this is a major step forward. Coffee is a ridiculous price and water must be pure gold as it is so expensive.

I havn't been to Sofia Airport, but this is certainly a big step forward, bring it on.
