SolitAir launched its inaugural cargo flight to Sofia on 2 July 2026, marking the carrier’s first destination in the European Union. This new route connects Dubai World Central with Vasil Levski Sofia Airport, linking the airline’s Middle East, Africa, and Asia network to the EU single market. The service became operational following the airline’s ACC3 designation granted by the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority in March 2026, which authorizes transport of cargo and mail into the EU and EEA under EU aviation security rules. Combined with its UAE GCAA Air Operator’s Certificate and EASA Third Country Operator authorisation, ACC3 completes the regulatory framework for scheduled freighter flights into EU airspace. The Sofia route represents SolitAir’s first European expansion since commencing operations in October 2024, extending its network beyond the Global South to 56 routes across 34 countries.
