AJW Group (AJW) has officially opened a new office in Sofia, Bulgaria, strengthening its European network and expanding its presence in Southeast Europe.

The new facility becomes AJW’s first dedicated regional hub in Southeast Europe and is designed to enhance customer support, accelerate business development and expand technical operations across the region. The office will operate as a full-service hub, supporting airline customers with operational services, technical expertise and commercial activities.

The expansion reflects AJW’s long-term commitment to the growing aviation market in Southeast Europe and its strategy to capitalise on Bulgaria’s strong reputation for engineering expertise, technical innovation and highly skilled professionals.

AJW said the Sofia office will play a key role in supporting regional growth, enabling the company to respond more quickly to customer requirements while strengthening relationships with airlines and aviation partners across the market.

Chief Executive Officer Clyde Buntrock said the investment demonstrates AJW’s confidence in Bulgaria’s market potential and reinforces the company’s commitment to building a stronger regional presence.

He added that Bulgaria has become a recognised centre for innovation and technical talent, making Sofia an ideal location for AJW to access skilled professionals while delivering more responsive support to its growing customer base across Southeast Europe.
