The air base functions as a hub for the 16th Transport Squadron of the BAF.

The name is derived from the nearby village of Vrazhdebna (now a suburb of Sofia) and is literally translated as hostile.

Both Sofia Airport and 16th TAB carry the official name "Vrazhdebna".

On some occasions Vrazhdebna Air Base also houses civilian Aviation Detachment 28 aircraft, which carry senior members of the Bulgarian government.
