Ljubljana Airport set for busiest month since October
Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport is set to see its busiest month in April since October 2020, with two carriers expected to restore operations while existing customers will increase frequencies. Overall, 183 scheduled flights are currently planned to operate (return service included), compared to 114 in March. If current schedules stick, April will see the return of both LOT Polish Airlines and Transavia to the Slovenian capital, although both are to resume operations towards the end of the month. Lufthansa will see the biggest increase in traffic, with the German carrier to add an additional seven weekly flights to its existing six weekly rotations from April 20. Air Serbia, Turkish Airlines, Air France and Aeroflot will all be adding an additional weekly service at varying points during the month, with the Serbian and Turkish carriers to maintain four weekly flights, Air France three, while Aeroflot will run two weekly rotations.
Overall, Lufthansa will be the busiest in terms of frequencies at Ljubljana Airport in April with a total of 75 operations (return service included). It will be followed by Air Serbia with 32, Turkish Airlines and Air France both with 28 flights, Aeroflot with twelve, Transavia with six and LOT with two flights during the month. Capacity-wise, Lufthansa will also offer the most seats - 6.750. Turkish Airlines will be the second largest carrier on the Slovenian market with 5.130 seats, followed by Air France with 2.560 seats. The most frequently used aircraft will be the CRJ900, on 40.5% of all flights, followed by the ATR72 on 17.3% of all operations and the Airbus A321 on 14.1% of all services during the month.
Airport operator Fraport Slovenija expects for traffic at Ljubljana Airport to pick up towards mid-summer. Furthermore, given favourable conditions for the revival of holiday tourism, the operator expects to see a greater volume of charter traffic this year in comparison to last summer. Meanwhile, Airports Council International (ACI) World has granted Ljubljana Airport its Airport Health Accreditation (AHA) to reward the exceptionally thorough sanitary measures put in place at the airport in order to counter the Covid-19 pandemic. After a complete evaluation of the implemented prevention and sanitary measures, ACI rewarded Ljubljana Airport‘s efforts based on: the processes of cleaning and disinfecting across the site, the implementation of social distancing markings, the strategic organisation of terminal space and the awareness communication campaigns for passengers and public Covid-19 prevention measures. Other airports in the former Yugoslavia to have so far received the accreditation include Belgrade, Sarajevo, Skopje, Zadar and Zagreb.
