Air Serbia boosts Ljubljana operations

NEWS FLASH

Air Serbia will grow its operations between Belgrade and Ljubljana over the coming two weeks after Slovenia lifted all its coronavirus entry requirements on Monday. The Serbian carrier will increase frequencies between the two capital cities from its existing six weekly service to eight weekly rotations from next Monday, after which frequencies will further grow to ten per week, starting March 14. All will be maintained with the ATR72 turboprop aircraft. In addition, the airline will continue to run two weekly flights between Niš and Ljubljana. Air Serbia was Ljubljana Airport’s fourth busiest airline in 2021, handling 26.127 travellers. The figure still amounts to just 40% of its pre-pandemic 2019 result when the airline saw a major uptick in passenger numbers on the route following the demise of Adria Airways, with October, November and December being its busiest months that year. The former Slovenian flag carrier filed for bankruptcy on September 30, 2019.
