NEWS FLASH
Slovenia has issued a sixth public call for airlines to introduce new routes to the country in return for subsidies, less than two weeks after the previous tender failed to attract any interest. The terms and conditions have remained unchanged for the sixth time. The state will cover 50% of the carrier’s fees on a new route. Only airlines registered and based in the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) are eligible for the subsidies. The ECAA is made up of states that are part of the European Union, as well as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Iceland, Macedonia, Norway, Kosovo, and Montenegro. The Slovenian government is primarily targeting the introduction of flights from Vienna, Copenhagen, Madrid, Prague, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Oslo, Barcelona, and Lisbon, although all destinations within the ECAA are eligible. Interested carriers have until October 27 to submit their applications. Their opening will not be public and will be carried out by the Aid Granting Commission within fifteen days of the tender deadline, while the results must be made public within thirty days of the deadline.

DeleteBravo Fraport!
ReplyDeleteI hope something materializes…
ReplyDeleteHope dies last.
DeleteWould be so nice if JU applied for flights to MBX.
ReplyDeleteMBX can't take pax since summer
DeleteShame they won't target flights to the UK - where easyJet, Wizz UK, BA etc could be interested
ReplyDeleteThey can’t. It is EU regulation.
DeleteWhy should the UK be excluded? Oh sorry I forgot, punishment for Brexit..
Delete50% of the fees is very low. This won't result in anything yet again.
ReplyDeleteI hope Binter Canarias applies.
ReplyDeleteBern thinking exactly the same since the first public tender
DeleteI dont get it whats wrong Ljubljana.
ReplyDeleteAt least to summer destination could be offered LCC flights.
I returned from Rhodes via Athens on september 27th. The flight on a random day in the end of september from RHO-ATH were cca. +15% Slovenians that were travelling back to Ljubljana via Athens. Greek islands are very popular among Slovenians and routes could work perfectly 1x 2x per week in July and August. Same with Barcelona and Tenerife

Does it matter who said it? It is highly relevant in Slovenia.
DeleteWhy Norwegian doesn’t continue with the CPH-LJU flights during the winter schedule since they received subsidiaries for the whole year?
ReplyDeleteI was also surprised to read Copenhagen on the list. I thought it was already served.
DeleteIf Norwegian has dropped the route, are they paying back all the funds they have received, or only part of them?
I can't say that I'm surprised that it hasn't worked for them, though. I didn't expect Copenhagen to be suitable for a Boeing (or Airbus), at least not year-round, but that it's more of a regional aircraft kind of route.
Norwegian has scheduled flights CPH-LJU again for the summer. Thought it is weird they discontinued them through the winter.
DeleteNorwegian in winter time earn much more money with Canarian routes from Skandinavia and UK...Not interested to serve SE of Europe.
