For 21 years the business daily Finance has been awarding the most prestigious professional accolades in business reporting: its best annual report awards. Fraport Slovenija has now become a winner in the category of best annual report in the area of sustainable development.

To improve the epidemiological situation in the country the Government of the Republic of Slovenia has decided on November 12 to temporarily suspend all public transport, except air transport. Ljubljana Airport remains open for passenger and cargo traffic.

Passenger air traffic in Europe has been recording a drastic decline for the eight-consecutive month. Due to development of the covid-19 pandemic, the announced offer of flights from Ljubljana Airport and their scope are still limited in the Winter Schedule. Nine regular airlines will be offering ten flight connections to nine European countries from Ljubljana Airport. In the period with the highest frequency around 60 flights per week are expected.

For the fifth year in a row, Fraport Slovenija's sustainable efforts have been comprehensively, concisely and transparently presented in the Sustainability Report, which has been prepared in accordance with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) standards.

From Monday, October 5, on the access to the passenger terminal and other facilities at Ljubljana Airport is temporarily changed. Traffic regulation is part of the construction of the new passenger terminal, which is in full swing.

Fraport Slovenija started with the construction of the new terminal in the middle of July 2019. One year later a vast construction shows the future image of Ljubljana Airport. The new complex will be ready for use by Summer 2021. 

Nine airlines have already returned to Ljubljana Airport after the end of the covid-19 pandemic. End of July easyJet has renewed its flights to Berlin and London Gatwick, being the third low-cost airline that has reestablished flights from Slovenia. The most recent to bring back flights is LOT Polish Airlines, which has returned its connection to Warsaw.

The revival of traffic at Ljubljana Airport continues. Air France is the sixth scheduled carrier to return to our airport. Slovenian and the French capital will initially be connected twice a week; flight frequencies will gradually increase. 

Today, after months of calm, we finally welcomed the first regular passenger flight. Air Serbia is the first airline to re-establish scheduled flights after the epidemic. They will initially fly between Belgrade and Ljubljana Airport twice a week and then adjust the frequency to actual demand.

The airport is ready to welcome passengers safely, and ensure a safe workplace for employees. With the resumption of air traffic, the airport has adopted new preventive measures for passengers and employee guidelines in order to reduce the possibility of infection.

On 12 May 2020 the Government of the Republic of Slovenia is withdrawing measures that were restricting air transport in Slovenia. It has assessed that this measure is no longer necessary.

As a consequence of the covid-19 pandemic air traffic in Europe and all over the world has been severely limited. Ljubljana Airport has been opened again for passenger flights from May 12, since the government has lifted the ban on commercial air traffic.

In the Summer Timetable, which will come into effect on March 29, 2020, the offer of flights from Ljubljana Airport is to be substantially expanded. Currently twelve regular air carriers will be joined by at least five during the summer season: British Airways with flights to London Heathrow, Finnair to Helsinki, Israir Airlines to Tel Aviv, Windrose to Kiev and Iberia to Madrid. Some connections will be strengthened by operating bigger airplanes or adding frequencies. Passengers will be able to choose from more than 160 weekly flights to 22 destinations in 15 countries. The volume of charter flights will be comparable to last year's, eight airlines will take passengers to 21 summer holiday destinations.
