Bulgaria has opened its civil aviation market to competition with the signing June 9 of European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) pact. The EU agreed the pact with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and the U.N. mission in Kosovo. The pact would allow airlines to fly freely within the area, without limitations set previously under state-by-state bilateral agreements. ECAA would also improve safety standards, boost competition and establish similar rights for consumers, the European Commission said. The Bulgarian transport ministry said it will name the local enforcement date for the pact within a couple of weeks Bulgarian carriers gain unrestricted access to all airports covered by the pact.
