Ljubljana Airport recorded its busiest July to date, surpassing both its pre-pandemic and pre-Adria Airways bankruptcy figures from 2018 and 2019 for the first time in eight years. The airport welcomed 208.638 passengers during the month, representing an increase of 14.9% on last year, 0.6% on 2019 and 4.9% on 2018.

Fraport Slovenia Managing Director Jürgen Deischl said on the occasion of the milestone: “Welcoming the millionth passenger exactly three weeks earlier than last year is a clear sign of the continued momentum of Ljubljana Airport. It reflects growing demand, additional airline capacity and the successful expansion and diversification of our flight network. This milestone is the result of the dedication of our airport team, the trust of our airline partners and the close cooperation of all key stakeholders. Our ambition is to further strengthen Ljubljana Airport’s position as the airport of choice for Slovenia and the wider Alpine-Adriatic region by expanding connectivity, ensuring reliable operations and an excellent passenger experience”.
