Les informations sur les aéro-clubs
bulgares nous ont été fournies en janvier et février 2004 par
Mr Nick Kaltchev - Directeur des Aero-Clubs Bulgares et
Mr Ognian Draganov - Bureau Jeppesen Bulgarie
que nous remercions vivement.
Aero club Bozhuriste
About 15 km west of Sofia near to NDB BOZ
is Aero club Bozhuriste. Grass field with hard surface runway with
length 800 meters, Good for VFR flights but with some restrictions from Sofia
Airport (LBSF). There are two hangars. Special attention should be paid to the
fact that NDB BOZ and also some still existing buildings near to the Aero club
were bulld by a french company during the age of long flights after 1920.
Bozhurishte Aero club is near the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. At the same place
was the airplane factory DAR, closed shortly after WWII.
Bozurishte has a 780 m concrete runway (grass field and grass runway can not be
used) but no housing/food facilities.
To see Sofia, you will have to use a nearby motel overnight.
AVGAS 100LL supply possible if ordered in advance, Customs and Immigration
clearences might be arranged.
However, the operating licence of the airfield has expired.
There are bureaucratic problems to fight before obtaining an operational
licence. The problem will be fixed before July 2004.

the Aero club of Plovdiv, at the same place with Plovdiv Airport (LBPD) and
military Helicopter base. There is a wide grass strip parallel the hard surface

hangars and repairing shops. Now they are in the possession of Defense
Ministry, without any activities.
