Minister of Transport Georgi Gvozdeikov has ordered an investigation into the case with a helicopter that flew at a dangerously low altitude over Gradina Beach on the southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, the ministry's press center announced.
According to eyewitnesses, the flight took place yesterday around 5:20 a.m., while thousands of people were welcoming July Morning on the seashore. Footage shows the aircraft flying extremely low and people throwing fake banknotes from the cabin onto the beach. General Directorate "Civil Aviation Administration" has established that pilot Veselin Stoyanov did not have a flight permit issued. If the inspection proves violations such as impermissible flight height and throwing objects from the helicopter, it is likely to proceed with the withdrawal of the license of the pilot and the aviation operator.
