  2. I thought Fraport is the concessionaire of Ljubljana Airport. Why is Slovenian ministry going for a tender?

    1. Because public transport is public service. Therefore Fraport Slovenija d.o.o. has to obey the public procurement act.

    2. It's an error, Fraport Slovenija is holding the public tender, not the ministry. However, the tender was published through the ministry's e-tendering platform. Public procurement is required for all public sector entities, as well as private companies that provide a public service.

  3. So new and old terminal combined will be around 21500sqm. I can see there's room for expansion further down the line. Still not bad, this should increase capacity to 3.5 million pax. Ljubljana should hit 3.5 million by 2030.

  4. Fraport is not obliged to follow public procurement act, it is private company. State has nothing to do with this
