In 1948 the third regular flight route in Bulgaria was established on the route Sofia - Gorna Orjachowiza - Sofia.
1969–1973 a new terminal building was built as well as a new runway of 2,450 m length and a taxiway. Airplanes with a landing weight of up to 200 t can land on the runway .
1975–1978 a new check-in and administration building and a new gate were built. The parking area on the apron has been enlarged so that it can accommodate two large aircraft, two medium-sized aircraft and one small aircraft.
