SOF Connect renovated for EUR 16.6 million the multi-storey cover car park at Terminal 2
Sofia, February 10, 2026 – SOF Connect, the operator of Vasil Levski Sofia Airport, officially opened the renovated multi-storey cover car park at Terminal 2. The covet car park renovation was implemented over a year in partnership with GBS-Infrastructure Construction. The renovation investment of EUR 16.6 million is one of the largest made in a single project since the airport’s transformation to date. SOF Connect has invested EUR 93 million in the capital’s airport since the beginning of the concession.
Thierry Deau - Founder, Chairman and CEO of the French infrastructure fund Meridiam and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of SOF Connect, Marie Dumoulin - Ambassador of France to Bulgaria, Jesus Caballero - CEO of SOF Connect, Emil Angelov - Deputy Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of Glavbolgarstroy Holding and Todor Gochev – Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of GBS-Infratsructure Construction, participated in the inaugural ceremony.
“Our investment in Vasil Levski Sofia Airport is a long-term commitment to Bulgaria’s connectivity, prosperity, and global competitiveness. Together with our partners, we are building tomorrow’s airport — one that is sustainable, resilient, and proudly serves its passengers and communities at the highest global standard.”, said Thierry Deau.
"For 20 years now, Bulgaria and France have been even more closely bound thanks to their membership in the European Union. Investments in transport connectivity are among the most important pillars of a strong and united Europe. The fact that Vasil Levski Airport - Sofia is operated by a French investor is a great joy for us and the fact that the modernization of the airport is so successful is another reason for pride," added Marie Dumoulin.
„Today is an important milestone in the transformation of Vasil Levski Sofia Airport. We are proud to officially open the renovated multi-storey cover car park at Terminal 2. This renovation was not a simple upgrade. It was a comprehensive structural and functional transformation of the facility. Over the past year, the cover car park has been practically rebuilt from the inside out to meet modern standards of safety, resilience, and comfort. During the renovation, the most advanced construction technologies were used, some of them for the first time in Bulgaria.“, said Jesus Caballero.
"A year after the start of the project, the cover car park at Terminal 2 of Vasil Levski Sofia Airport has been successfully completed and a permit for use has been issued. The project is of great importance for the development of the airport infrastructure and for improving transport connectivity in the country. During its implementation, modern technological solutions were applied in the road infrastructure, in full compliance with the current standards. This is the second significant project related to the development of the airport, after the implementation of the open car parks, on which SOF Connect and Glavbolgarstroy are working in partnership. Its implementation contributes to the consolidation of the functionality and modern outlook of the airport.", added Todor Gochev.
The renovated facility has four underground and one completely new above-ground level. As a result of the project, the total capacity of the multi-storey car park is now 930, with 30 of the spaces being for cars of people with limited mobility. During the reconstruction, some of the most modern civil engineering activities were used to strengthen the vertical structural elements with additional reinforced concrete walls and earthquake washers, as well as to reinforce the slabs with innovative carbon fibers and steel beams. In the process of work, complete sandblasting and injection of structural cracks, hydroblasting of the concrete and replacement of expansion joints were carried out. The security of the site is also guaranteed by a completely new video surveillance system.
The project also has a strong environmental aspect, as all concrete waste generated during the construction activities was removed and recycled by the main contractor GBS-Infrastructural Construction and reused in the renovation of the cover car park.
