ANA returning to Ljubljana and Dubrovnik
Japan's largest carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) will return to both Ljubljana and Dubrovnik this summer by operating a pair of charter services originating from Tokyo and Osaka, which will be run on behalf of the country's largest tour operator. The carrier has scheduled flight NH1951 from Osaka Kansai International to Ljubljana for August 31, departing at 13.05 and landing in the Slovenian capital at 18.15 that same day. Flight NH1955 from Tokyo to Ljubljana will run on September 14, leaving Narita Airport at 09.00 and arriving in Ljubljana at 14.00. From Dubrovnik, a charter to Tokyo will operate on September 7 and to Osaka on September 21, with flights departing at 20.30 and 20.55 respectively. All of the planned services are scheduled to operate with ANA's wide-body Boeing 787-9 aircraft, which has the capacity to seat between 215 and 395 passengers depending on the cabin layout.
Earlier this year, Slovenia and Japan resumed talks over the introduction of scheduled services between the two countries. The Slovenian State Secretary at the Ministry for Economy and Technological Development, Aleš Cantarutti, hosted Japan's Minister for Economy, Commerce and Industry, Yoshihiro Seki, in June during which the two discussed the necessary steps for the establishment of nonstop flights. It involves the swift conclusion of a bilateral Air Service Agreement, which would pave way for ANA to initially conclude a codeshare agreement with Adria Airways. Last year, ANA noted the two carriers plan to mutually exchange flight numbers and designator codes on services from Japan to Paris, Frankfurt and Brussels, as well as from these European points to Ljubljana.
Croatia and Japan are also set to resume talks over the adoption of an Air Service Agreement, which is a precondition for the establishment of nonstop flights. The first round of negotiations were held last November in Tokyo. The Japanese Ministry for Foreign Affairs said, "Discussions between the aeronautical authorities of Japan and the Republic of Croatia are continuing. A tentative framework has been reached until the conclusion of an Air Services Agreement between the two countries. Considering the possibility and forecasts, there is sufficient air traffic demand for scheduled air services between Japan and the Republic of Croatia in the future".
