Bulgaria did not stand aloof from the rapid development of aviation in 20-ies and 30-ies of XX-th century. In the beginning, aircraft took off and landed on natural ground. The first airfield in the city of Sofia was located in the place of today’s central railway station.The first commercial air transportation services took place in 1922. Test flights were successfully conducted carrying post along two routes: Sofia-Gorna Oryahovitsa-Varna-Ruse and Sofia-Plovdiv-Yambol-Burgas, thus tracing out the first domestic lines. Later Bulgaria was among the first states to sign the founding Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation. In the early 30-ies, flights took off for the first time from the natural runway in the area near the village of Vrazhdebna, later chosen for the construction of the capital airport following a decree of Tsar Boris III of 16th September 1937. This is the birthday of Sofia Airport, which has now walked a long way to its 70th anniversary. The airport was constructed under the guidance of the Directorate of Civil Aviation to the Ministry of Railways, Posts and Telegraphs. The first reception building of Sofia Airport was opened in 1939. Two years later, it had a complete airfield with an unpaved runway, and nine years later - its first 1050 m long concrete runway. In 1949, the Bulgarian-Russian aviation union TABKO was set up to bind together the civil aircraft fleet and the commercial airports. It was then that the first international scheduled flights connected Sofia with other European capitals.
