What you did was not only very professional and experienced, but you showed humanity and great courage. Thus, acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev addressed the team of the State Aviation Operator, which evacuated the Bulgarians from Lebanon.
Today, Glavchev awarded all 18 people who participated in the operation to bring back our compatriots.
I initiated this ceremony, even though I am known for not being in the habit of rewarding people who do their job, said Prime Minister Glavchev. But he emphasized that the evacuation was of utmost importance, and the team did its job perfectly.
“The state aviation operator is a structure that over the years has maintained its stability, security and sustainability. Something that works well and develops well, it is better not to spoil it. What you do is the result of a lot of training and effort, it’s high time we paid a little more attention to that as well. Pilots on a foreign scale are decreasing more and more, foreign pilots are working for us. This is an occasion to think about training,” said Transport Minister Krasimira Stoyanova.
