It has one 3,600-meter asphalt runway that saw 3.3 million passengers come and go on 40,771 flights in 2021. Due to COVID-19, those numbers are down from the 7 million passengers in 2019. It is home to both commercial airlines and the Bulgarian Air Force.
SOF began in 1937 and opened its doors in 1939 when a waiting room was built. The military used the airport during WWII to move mail and perishables. By the 1960s, it met its maximum capacity of 600,000 annual passengers, so in the 1970s there was an expansion of the airport making room for 3 million passengers. The airport terminal quickly outgrew itself, and by the 2010s, there were two terminals and plans for a third terminal.
There are 400 parking spots by Terminal 1 and 800 parking spots by Terminal 2. Both lots are uncovered and can handle long- and short-term parking. Transportation includes public transport, shuttles, taxis and rental cars.
