Transavia France suspends Ljubljana ticket sales
Low cost carrier Transavia France has halted sales of its seasonal flights between Paris Orly and the Slovenian capital, indicating the service may be discontinued. The airline introduced two weekly rotations between the two cities during the 2022 summer season, from late April until late October. At the same time, it also introduced operations from the French capital to Podgorica, which will be restored next April. The development has no impact on Transavia’s Amsterdam – Ljubljana service which will continue to be maintained. Transavia France still has two weekly flights to the Slovenian capital listed in the Global Distribution System, however, availability has been zeroed out to prevent ticket sales. The airline has been contacted for comment.
Transavia France has no direct competition on flights between Orly and Ljubljana, while services between Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport and the Slovenian capital are maintained by the budget carrier’s parent company Air France. Jointly, the two handled 75.347 travellers between the two cities during the first three quarters of the year, making it one of Ljubljana’s busiest routes. The figure represents a 6.7% decrease on the same period during the pre-pandemic 2019, when flights were maintained by Air France and Adria Airways. In June, the French national carrier introduced a second daily flight to the Slovenian capital, exceeding its pre-Covid capacity levels.
Ljubljana recently saw Wizz Air discontinue one of its two routes to Slovenia’s busiest airport, ending operations from Charleroi after over a decade of operations. In October, the operator of Ljubljana Airport, Fraport Slovenija, held talks with the Slovenian government to seek ways to improve the country’s air connectivity. During the meeting with the Ministry for Infrastructure, as well the Ministry for Economic Development and Technology, the two sides also discussed amendments to the Aviation Act and the lifting of Covid measures related to retail, which included the closure of the airport’s shops on Sundays. The latter was recently lifted by the government.
