Flight delayed by Sofia blast

An explosion at an old ammunition dump near Sofia has caused an Air Malta flight to Malta from the Bulgarian capital to be delayed by some nine hours, the airline said this afternoon.

The passengers were already on board the aircraft when the explosion took place.

The aircraft and its passengers were not in any danger but as a precautionary measure the passengers were disembarked, given refreshments and meals.

Sofia Airport is currently closed.

Air Malta said the flight will depart as soon as the airport is opened.
