Paris-based public infrastructure developer, Meridiam, and its partner, Munich Airport, Germany, have finally been confirmed as the concessionaire for Sofia Airport, by the Bulgarian Ministry of Transport. The confirmation came as the Supreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria upheld the decision of the Commission for Protection of Competition of 14 November 2019 on the selection.
The investment embedded in this 35-year long-term public-private
partnership, according to an official statement made available to AUTO REPORT AFRICA, will contribute to Bulgaria´s economic rebound post
Covid-19 crisis and support the Bulgarian Government and local
authorities to achieve significant regional benefits in social, economic and environmental aspects.
The statement said the airport will develop new standards of carbon accreditation and environmental standards – serving as benchmark for other airports and industries aiming at becoming an enabler of social, economic,
environmental and inclusive growth that contributes to Sofia and
Bulgaria.
With a proven experience in the airport sector and an existing portfolio of landmark airports including LaGuardia Central Terminal (New York, USA), Queen Alia International (Jordan) or Ivato and Nosy Bé (Madagascar), Meridiam intends to set the ground for a sustainable success story with the new Sofia Airport. Meridiam said it has committed to work
with the entire aviation sector to achieve the reduction of carbon
emissions as part of its mission.
Munich Airport, on its part, will provide all its knowledge, expertise, best practices and market outreach, especially in terms of airline marketing, route development, passenger experience, smart airport development, airport city development and operational efficiency.
