A false bomb alert at Sofia Airport left dozens of passengers out in the cold this morning.

The report of the explosive device was received around 7:30.

A thorough investigation by law enforcement has begun.

People were taken out of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. They waited outside for about 30-40 minutes.

Around 10:00 a.m. entry into the airport was possible.

"Exactly in this period of time, there was neither canceled nor delayed flight, we did not cause any inconvenience to the passengers. 

The waiting time was 38 minutes maximum. The airport is working normally. 

I believe that those who do these things will be punished," he said the director of the "Communications" Directorate at Sofia Airport - Rosen Bachvarov. 

However, the passengers resent being brought out in sub-zero temperatures without being given any information.

"We are coming from Terminal 2 and we had to move somehow, there was no shuttle and we walked, they didn't give us any information," said one of the evacuees.
