Lufthansa turns down Slovenian flag carrier proposal

Lufthansa has reportedly rejected the Slovenian government’s proposal to jointly set up the country’s new national carrier. The development comes following talks on the matter last week in Frankfurt between a Slovenian delegation led by the State Secretary within the Ministry for Economy and Lufthansa executives. According to the business daily “Finance”, the German carrier informed the Slovenian Minister for Economic Development and Technology, Zdravko Počivalšek, that it was disinterested in setting up a new airline at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport several weeks ago and reiterated its stance at the meeting last week. The Lufthansa Group is gradually adding flights to the Slovenian capital, with Swiss launching operations from Zurich last Wednesday, which will be followed by Lufthansa itself from Frankfurt and Munich, as well as Brussels Airlines from Brussels, over the coming two weeks. The four routes accounted for around 40% of Adria’s scheduled flights and seats this summer.

Mr Počivalšek has led efforts to establish a new national airline in Slovenia in the wake of Adria Airways’ demise on September 30. He is believed to have proposed the creation of a new flag carrier which would launch towards the end of February 2020 with a fleet of ten to twelve aircraft. The minister previously said any new national airline should be established only in partnership with Lufthansa. Commenting on last week’s meeting with the airline, Mr Počivalšek said, "I can't make any statements about what happened. First, we have to talk to the group of people that attended the meeting and then we will decide the best way forward", he said.

The travel analytics firm ForwardKeys has revealed that Adria Airways’ bankruptcy will lead to a significant reduction in connectivity from Ljubljana Airport this winter. Key source markets such as Austria, Germany and France will be impacted, as Adria accounted for 99.6%, 87.3% and 50.8% of seat capacity on flights from these countries. Despite the rapid response from various carriers to Adria’s bankruptcy, scheduled capacity in Slovenia is still set to fall by almost 40% this winter. “Given the attractiveness of Slovenia as a destination, I expect other airlines to fill the gaps left by Adria Airways but how long it will take to get back to the previous level is anyone's guess”, the Vice President for Insights at ForwardKeys, Olivier Ponti, said.

      It was a nice journey for the delegation with good hotels, alcohol and socialization. It's way better than to seat in the boring office in Ljubljana and because when you are going to meetings abroad you "write" overtime hours so you have free days later.

      LJU-VIE would only work on daily basis, as a lot of people would be connecting (even on a separate ticket) to longhaul flights.

      And you definitely can't fill A320/B738 on LJU-VIE with 7pw or more and make profit.

      LJU - VIE net flight times were 25-40mins on a CRJ.I experienced everything in between, usually they were faster back to LJU as they could land immediately. Without a schengen passport control you could be in city city center in an hour using a train, rather convenient.

      Our government knew that LH will decline from the very beggining (demise of JP), therefore they linked the establishment of a new national carrier to LH opartivcipation. Now it's not their fault for not establishing it, but LH should be blamed.

      Of course, this argumentation is for imbecile political purposes only.

      Government is always objectively responsible for such situations.

      The problem is that the Slovenian market is small for any one of those major companies to care. Even in Croatia, which is a bigger market than Slovenia and would provide significantly more feed, no one is interested in Croatia Airlines.

    I don't know what made politicians think that Lufthansa would magically set up an airline in Slovenia. If it wanted to it could have bought Adria years ago when it was put up for sale. It would have been such a strong buyer that it could have dictated all the terms to the government which would have done anything it was told by them.

    This will be a very unpopular opinion on here but it needs to be said. With JP going bust the Slovenian market will become somewhat irrelevant. While JP was around at least they had some action, some relevance. Now they will be a third or fourth tier airport that will barely have 1.3 million passengers. This was probably something local officials wanted to avoid.

    I mean right now there are no departures before 9! That's a disaster but it's the reality and the truth.

      Agree completely with you and I'm Slovenian. That's why, unlike many of my countrymen, I think Adria's bankruptcy will have a big impact on Ljubljana Airport and Slovenia. Time will show. A couple of flights by Swiss, Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines which many are celebrating as something spectacular won't make up for it.

      They will do it sooner or later. It is in their interest to capture the passengers connecting to long haul as well.

      But some people think only Adria was capable of flying morning departures out of LJU, while they themselves were flying a lot of early morning flights as a part of wet-leases last two summers from outstations to VIE and MUC.

      One would think with their decades long experience they would see the light dangling in front of their eyes.

      They are capturing long-haul flights like this but through Munich, they have an afternoon bank of departures.

    Had the government been serious about this it would have started talks with Lufthansa well before Adria went bankrupt but when it was visible it would go bust.

      Can the concession business plan with the level of money transfers to the state and investments to the terminal and the rest of LJU facilities work with a 40% reduction in fees?

      It's probably more expensive to do that in Ljubljana then it is in Pristina. Especially since Pristina gives incentives for airlines to base a plane there... unlike Ljubljana which is still sticking to its expensive pricing policy.

      Apparently it had O&D because in that article published last week here, Skobir who is CEO of Ljubljana Airport said how Pristina and Tirana won't work anymore because they were routes purely serving transfer passengers while Skopje had a lot of point to point traffic (which surprised me to be honest).
