      It seems to be doing well. U2 usually deploys the A319 on the route but sends the A320 too e.g. last Friday.
      Impossible for a city like Berlin no to work for any ex-Yu or former bloc state.
      Even INI and BHX are connected and their flights survived.

      AF do not sending just E175, but also E190
      TK not just 320 but also 321
      SU sending also 320 (SU9)

      Charter 8Q with 320 1 time per week

      I'm not really sure but i think that JU send 737 (1 or 2 times in FEB)

      TK A321 for sure. It's become a regular guest in LJLJ.
      SU A320 is logic after JP stopped flights to SVO.

      Also worth mentioning that W6 will increase CRL-LJU from 2 to 3 weekly in summer!

      Great so number of flight increased more than the number of PAX, meaning that the flight were less occupied or smaller planes used.

    Wait for Adria to discontinue all those summer flights ... it will be scary for the airport.

      It will be a good year for Ljubljana even without JP around.
      The London route seems to be doing much better than Zagreb.

      Like it should be. Like it should be...
      FR might even launch SEN-LJU given than it's a base.
      I will not dream of LJU-LCY operated by JP. But why not?

      LJU might reach 2 million this year pure organic traffic with no subsidies similar to other airports.

      LJU would need more than 10% growth this years in order to reach 2 mio pax, and at least in the first 2 months, this was not given - and with Adrias future looking uncertain... i wish i could share your optimism.

    I wish LJU all the best this year, I do hope for some new destinations in the near future perhaps BCN, ATH, FCO, MAD. We do not need long-haul flights just good connections within Europe, we have big hubs near by.

      +1000. Barcelona, Madrid and Rome would definitely work. Let´s hope U2, W6 or even FR is thinking this way, but with the airport management in the first place. New terminal will enable adding connections like these even more, but it would be good to have them as soon as possible.

      This year will have the same number of pax as last year. Summer months will have negative growth compared to last year so it will even out.

    3. And JP sheds bunch of routes and frequencies. How exactly does the future look good?

      I am sure Fraport knows the situation and will bring other carriers, just let's hope for it to happen as soon as possible.
