πΊπΈπ§π¬ - Bulgaria will not allow US Military aircraft to stay in Bulgaria after June, over a dispute from the US not allowing visa free access for Bulgarian citizens.
Bulgaria had previously given the US permission to use the airport until May, Bulgaria's president said they will extend it to June, but will not renew it again due to the dispute.
The US Air Force were using Sofia International Airport as a hub for aerial refuelers involved in ferrying aircraft through Europe to the Middle East for Operation Epic Fury. This does not effect their use of Bulgarian airspace, which is still permitted, this is only the permit to park and operate from the airport property.
