History
Vidin Airfield was built in 1973 as civilian airport with a 2,030 metre long runway. It was served by small airplanes in the 1980s and was briefly shut down in 1998-1999 due to a land dispute between the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Agriculture. In 2007, after investors showed interest for reopening the airport, the regional administration of Vidin undertook measures to revive it.
