Sofia Airport(IATA: SOF,Β ICAO: LBSF) (Bulgarian:ΠΠ΅ΡΠΈΡΠ΅ Π‘ΠΎΡΠΈΡ, Letishte Sofiya), sometimes also called Sofia-Vrazhdebna Airport (Bulgarian:ΠΠ΅ΡΠΈΡΠ΅ Π‘ΠΎΡΠΈΡ-ΠΡΠ°ΠΆΠ΄Π΅Π±Π½Π°, Letishte Sofiya-Vrazhdebna), is the main airport of Bulgaria. The airport is located 5Β km (3.1Β mi) east from the centre of Sofia. In 2015 the airport surpassed 4 million passengers for the first time and handled a total of 4,088,943 passengers, a 7.2% increase compared to 3,815,158 passengers handled in 2014. The Vrazhdebna Air Base of the Bulgarian Air Force is also located at Sofia Airport.
History
The airport was initially built in the late 1930s on a site 6.3Β km (3.9Β mi) (7.5Β km (4.7Β mi) by road then; later 9Β km (5.6Β mi) by road and today 10.2Β km (6.3Β mi) and up to 11.4Β km (7.1Β mi)) distant from the geographical centre of Sofia as a replacement of that city's small civil airport at Bozhurishte. The airport was used as hub by domestic airline Bunavad which connected Sofia to Burgas, Plovdiv, Ruse and Varna. In 1938, Yugoslav airline Aeroput begin regular direct flights linking Sofia to Belgrade three times a week using Lockheed Model 10 Electra planes. The airport served Sofia which then had under 250,000 inhabitants and continues to serve the city nowadays, which had about 1.2 million by 2011.
Sofia (/ΛsoΚfiΙ/) (Bulgarian:Π‘ΠΎΡΠΈΡ, Sofiya,pronouncedΒ [ΛsΙfijΙ]) is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria. Sofia is the 15th largest city in the European Union with population of more than 1.2 million people. The city is located at the foot of Vitosha Mountain in the western part of the country, within less than 50 kilometres (31Β mi) drive from the Serbian border. Its location in the centre of the Balkan peninsula means that it is the midway between the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea, whereas the Aegean Sea is the closest to it.
Sofia has been an area of human habitation since at least 7000 BCE. Many of the major universities, cultural institutions and commercial companies of Bulgaria are concentrated in Sofia. Sofia is one of the top 10 best places for start-up business in the world, especially in IT technologies. Sofia is Europe's most affordable capital to visit as of 2013.
Names
For the longest time the city possessed a Thracian name, derived from the tribe Serdi, who were either of Thracian,Celtic, or mixed Thracian-Celtic origin. The Serdi and the name of emperor Marcus Ulpius Traianus (53 β 117 AD) prompted the Romans to give the city the combinative name of Ulpia Serdica; Ulpia is derived from an Umbrian cognate of the Latin word lupus, meaning "wolf."
It seems that the first written mention of Serdica was made during his reign and the last mention was in the 19th century in a Bulgarian text (Π‘Π°ΡΠ΄Π°ΠΊΡΠΈ, Sardaki). During the Romans civitas Serdenisium was mentioned the "brightest city of the Serdi" in official inscriptions. The city was major throughout the past ever since Antiquity, when Roman emperor Constantine the Great referred to it as "my Rome", and it nearly became his capital.
Sofia (Greek: ΣοΟΞ―Ξ± or ΣοΟΞΉΞ¬ also Isle of Gaia) is an island of the Echinades, among the Ionian Islands group of Greece. As of 2011, it had no resident population.
In June 2015 it was reported that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were considering buying the 17 hectares (42 acres) island for $4.7 million. It has planning permission for six villas.

Sofia Airport(IATA: SOF,Β ICAO: LBSF) (Bulgarian:ΠΠ΅ΡΠΈΡΠ΅ Π‘ΠΎΡΠΈΡ, Letishte Sofiya), sometimes also called Sofia-Vrazhdebna Airport (Bulgarian:ΠΠ΅ΡΠΈΡΠ΅ Π‘ΠΎΡΠΈΡ-ΠΡΠ°ΠΆΠ΄Π΅Π±Π½Π°, Letishte Sofiya-Vrazhdebna), is the main airport of Bulgaria.
