Ljubljana Airport posts busiest month as United lifts ambitions

Ljubljana Airport registered its busiest month on record in August, handling 222.958 passengers. The figure represents an increase of 19.7% on the same month last year and is 5.3% above the previous record set in August 2019, when Adria Airways was still in operation and the airport welcomed 211.595 travellers. “This comparison is important, but the number alone does not tell the full story. Today, Ljubljana Airport’s growth is supported by a broad and diversified airline portfolio, strong connectivity and close cooperation with our airline and tourism partners. This makes the achievement not only historic, but also strategically significant for the future development of the airport”, the airport’s CEO, Jürgen Deischl, said. Ljubljana's largest airlines by scheduled seat capacity, August 2026 The recently announced seasonal service between Newark and Ljubljana, which United Airlines will launch next year, has not only raised the airport’s ambitions but also changed the way it can position and market itself to other carriers. Speaking to the “Bloomberg Adria” network, Mr Deischl noted, “New York for us changes the scale of our ambition but it does not complete it. We are working on additional European and international connectivity, stronger frequencies and further strategic opportunities for next year. We will not speculate about airlines or destinations now, but we will announce those flights as soon as they are ready to take off”. Commenting further about the United service, the CEO noted, “The commercial case was compelling. We have a significantly underserved market. We have a cross-boarder catchment of around five million and approximately 200.000 American visitors expected this year without a nonstop connection. So, in a remarkably short time, we turned that potential together with United into a credible and executable business case. Ultimately, the decision was United’s, and we are absolutely delighted with it. We expect more than 40.000 passengers to use this route during the next summer season. However., the opportunity goes well beyond the passenger numbers. A nonstop service changes how a destination is received, sold and assessed”. He added, “Our responsibility as an airport is to create conditions for a strong performance from day one and to build the foundation for a lasting service”. EX-YU Aviation News
