The 60 years since passenger traffic commenced at Ljubljana Airport
It has been 60 years since passenger traffic commenced at Ljubljana Airport. The first regular connections to Belgrade, Dubrovnik, and London were provided by the former Yugoslav airline JAT, while Adria-aviopromet flew to Belgrade and Algiers. The beginnings were modest, with just 78,000 passengers handled in 1964. Today, Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport stands as a modern and efficient regional gateway—a hub of opportunities for individuals, society, and the broader global community. The venerable jubilee is marked by a strong growth in passenger traffic and successful recovery after a challenging period, during which the bankruptcy of Adria Airways left the airport without its largest business partner and faced an unimaginable loss of traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, Ljubljana Airport concluded the year with a 30% annual increase in passenger numbers, with more than 1,270,000 passengers. In the summer schedule, 22 carriers will be flying from Ljubljana Airport offering at least 26 routes.
