Ljubljana down to three airlines as more flights suspended
Carriers are continuing to either suspend or reduce their operations to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport as key markets in Europe reintroduce nationwide lockdowns while Slovenia itself endures a nighttime curfew. Air France will become the latest airline to temporarily suspend their operations to the Slovenian capital. The Slovenian Embassy in France has announced that the carrier will run its last flight between Paris and Ljubljana on November 5, with no services to be maintained between November 7 and December 16. Although Air France is still selling tickets to Ljubljana throughout November, the carrier said, “Due to the closure of European borders and ongoing travel restrictions, our flight schedule for next week is being updated. At this stage, it is too early to assess the impact of these new measures on our flight schedule beyond this period. Further adjustments will be made over the next week”.
Air France planned to maintain three weekly flights to the Slovenian capital this winter season. The temporary suspension of its operations to Ljubljana will result in just three airlines serving the city for most of November - Air Serbia, Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines. However, Lufthansa is also reducing its flights as Germany imposes a nation-wide lockdown. This week, the German carrier will run just three rotations from Frankfurt to Ljubljana. It initially planned to operate daily flights, increasing to double daily from November 16. That has now been pushed back until mid-December. Montenegro Airlines, which plans to resume operations between Podgorica and Ljubljana on November 29 has reduced its frequencies from the planned four weekly flights to two weekly, although further changes remain likely.
Other carriers that plan to return to Ljubljana in the coming months have also delayed their comeback onto the Slovenian market. LOT Polish Airlines now intends to resume flights from Warsaw on December 16 instead of December 1. easyJet, which was to launch its new flights from London Luton and restore operations from London Gatwick in December, has delayed its services until January 2021. Transavia, which initially scheduled to restore flights to the Slovenian capital in mid-December has now postponed its service resumption until mid-February of next year. As previously reported, Brussels Airlines' planned return to Ljubljana has been postponed from October until February of next year.
