Solinair’s new Ljubljana maintenance hangar advances

NEWS FLASH


Construction of Solinair’s new maintenance hangar at Ljubljana Airport is progressing on schedule, with work expected to be completed early next year. The facility will be fully operational by March 2026. The Solinair hangar is being built on the site of the former GIO Aviation hangar. Covering 3.250 square metres, the facility will be capable of servicing CRJ, ATR, Embraer, Airbus A220, and A320-family narrow-body aircraft. It will be able to accommodate up to three aircraft simultaneously. The hangar will also feature workshops for engines, electrical systems, metalworking, and painting, along with a dedicated paint shop, warehouses, server rooms, archives, and administrative offices located on the upper floor. Solinair, a Slovenian-registered cargo airline and maintenance provider, performs maintenance work for Lufthansa, Helvetic Airways, Finnair and Nigerian carriers Ibom Air and ValueJet.

    Do they fly the planes from Nigeria to Ljubljana just for maintenance? Surely no? The costs would be astronomical

      Yes, they do, normally with a fuel stop in Tamanrasset. Currently, there is also an Air Samarkand A321neo on maintenance with Adria.
