The consortiums which filed the complaints are MAG-BCEG Consortium, SSB-Copenhagen Consortium, Fraport Bulgaria and Aeroports de Paris-TAV Consortium.
The concession for the airport was awarded earlier this month to the Sof Connect consortium composed of Meridiam Eastern Europe Investments, with Flughafen Munchen named as an airport operator. The winning consortium's offer was awarded 86.12 points out of 100.

It also involves the construction of a third terminal, which must be completed by the tenth year of the concession.
