    That was mostly for tourist groups (sea vacation) departing from Slovenia. Am I right?

      and why is there demand from other airports in region? because people do travel more than Slovenians? No! It's because of schedule, if you don't have proper schedule to fly in/out of country then passengers will choose other airport.

    There was never any logic for this line to make a succes. Plans for this line started in 2018, maybe it would be possible then. But today, to make 3 flights per week to one single destination, holiday destination even, it's lunatic. Turkish Airlines is having 3 flights per week with it's wast network.. How do you expect same number of flights with only point-to-point traffic?

      "But today, to make 3 flights per week to one single destination, holiday destination even, it's lunatic".. Air Montenegro and their sold out flights on TIV-LJU disagree with you.

      Sold out flights to TIV from LJU? Care to explain how you're sure about flights being sold out?
      I will not even go on to comment comparison between LJU and BEG.

    Seems like Slovenian aviation is going through some form of existential crisis.

      Skobir is useless. He prefers hanging up new artwork throughout the airport, all happy, than turning the company into what is supposed to be - AN AIRPORT, not an art gallery.

    Well Slovenia is indeed a very small market with little or no diaspora. Which, in the end, is always a good thing. I prefer to have less traffic at the main airport then to have half of the country, and most young people, abroad. On top of that, what little tourist interest there might be is dampened by the lunatic government that is intent on keeping SLO isolated from the rest of the world, in the hopes of turning it into another HU and Mr Janša into the next Orbán.

      Just to clarify, you can't compare foreign tourists trends in SLO and HU: right now they are many foreign tourist coming to HU: lake Balaton is full of them and Budapest is starting to accept them too.
      Where did yo get the idea that Orban is keeping HU isolated from the world? It's one sided propaganda. The situation on the field is quite different.

      Try not to believe everything you see on RTV or POP TV. I'm pretty sure your two idols, Mrs. Black Mamba and Mr. Serpenrinsek had something to do with the current airline disaster in Slovenia. Let's face it, no national carrier, no traffic. Simple. Unfortunately, some hard headed people have trouble understanding that Slovenia is an unimportant market.

      Those are the same people that cycle every Friday and believe everything they hear/see on RTV and POP TV.
