NEWS FLASH
Low cost carrier Eurowings plans to launch flights from Berlin and Dusseldorf to Ljubljana. The airline was the only one to apply to the most recent public call issued by the Slovenian government aimed at attracting new carriers to the country in return for subsidies. According to “Forbes Slovenia”, the aid granting commission will convene this week to determine if Eurowings has met the necessary conditions. The budget carrier aims to launch operations from the German capital to Ljubljana on April 11 and from Dusseldorf on April 12. As previously reported, destinations in Germany hold high potential from Ljubljana.
Finally, that’s something at least.
ReplyDeleteFinally Berlin!
ReplyDeleteStop posting any positive news, don't you know people here only want to be miserable about LJU performance.
ReplyDeleteWe dont want to be miserable, the performance of LJU is the miserable one. Hope to get better.
DeleteWhy is it miserable? Ljubljana is one of the smallest capital cities in Europe and Slovenia one of the smallest countries in the world. There are large airports all around the country, there are mountains for skiing and outdoor tourism nearby and there is Italy and the Adriatic sea for all summer holidays. Hundreds of thousands of Slovenian nationals own homes in Croatia, mostly Istria. Why should the airport have more passengers?
DeleteBecause people burn fuel to reach Zagreb, Trieste, or Venice to fly?
DeleteIf -30% compared to 2019 is not miserable then there is something wrong with you.
Deleteunfortunately it's true. My friends and family in LJU mostly fly from Italian Airports to Europe or Latin America (TRS, VCE, BGY). I even given them infos about ZAG flights or news of LJU, but they book all the time departures from Italian Airports. Last week they came back from FCO on AZ to TRS and same week one person started on IB ex VCE to LIM. They were also in PMO and TFS and this year and departed from Italy.
Delete@14:14 It is practically the same amount of feul burned for me traveling from Maribor to LJU, ZAG or GRZ. The same is for people from "primorska region" going to TRS/TSF instead of LJU. You simply go to the airport that is most convenient...
Delete@14:33 Correct in all aspects. Some people from the LJU surrounding think that coming to LJU costs nothing or the distance to the other airports is not the same for most Slovenian citizens (about 66% or more) . Those people also forget the ugly thruth, abot the connectivity of the aiports closer or the similar distance than to LJU. And prices also.
Delete@14:14 - the comment is metioned for you, not 14:33. Sorry
DeleteIf slovenians are so keen to drive to all the neighbouring airports why there is no spillover effect to neighbouring airports on routes which all well covered from LJU? Why almost noone flies to IST from ZAG or VCE? Why almost noone fly to FRA or MUC from ZAG or VCE, even if fares are generally speaking MUCH lower from ZAG or VCE?
Delete^and how do you know they don't? From all I know we always check the prices of airports around us (at least venice, ,trieste, vienna, graz, even klagenfurt) and at the end pick the cheapest (considering also parking and fuel+vignette prices). For that reason I have flown to IST from LJU as well as ZAG, and via IST to Thailand from VCE
DeleteSOME PEOPLE FROM LJUBLJANA THINK THAT SLOVENIA 🇸🇮 IS ONLY LJUBLJANA.The people living in littoral western slovenia are using TIESTE,VENICE AND TREVISO AIRPORTS …IS EASY ACCESS…
DeleteThat would be very important additions, especially Berlin. Hope that it comes to fruition.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, very excited about this!
ReplyDeleteHopefully not just one or two weekly
ReplyDeletemore TK flights, new Eurowings to DUS and BER. Nice to see some positive development. I hope that LX will continue with their 14 weekly ZRH-LJU flights, currently they just have scheduled 11 with the old schedule (no early morning 0630h departure) and hopefully IB returns to MAD again but lit bit longer than just 5 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI don't expect to see LX with a morning departure in STT.
DeleteExciting to see member of a friendly Luthansa Group family receive subsidies to expand presence in Ljubljana. LH Group firmly leads the way in Slo.
ReplyDeleteThank you mama Lufti
DeleteIt is a public tender, so open to everyone.
DeleteConspiracy theories don't care about your facts.
DeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteHvala Fraport for all the engagement to attract new carriers. Im sure they all around route development forums. #sarcasm
ReplyDeleteGood for Slovenia! Interesting fact, pilots from EWG have their base training flights in MBX on A319 and A320 and are very satisfied.
ReplyDeleteMaribor keeps winning
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteYes, please! We desperately need Eurowings in this part of Europe. And it's also great for those of us who are still in the Miles and More scheme back from the Adria times...
