## Description

ICAO code LBPG denotes Graf Ignatievo Air Base, the Bulgarian Air Force's principal fighter station north of Plovdiv. It hosts the MiG-29 fleet and, from 2025, is converting to the new F-16 Block 70; there is no civilian scheduled or cargo traffic. For commercial air freight in southern Bulgaria, Sofia (SOF) about 140 km west is the nearest cargo option, while nearby Plovdiv (PDV) offers only limited service. As a purely military airfield, LBPG plays no role for forwarders.
