NEWS FLASH
Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport has begun work on the partial overhaul of its old terminal building. The facility will be reorganised and linked to the new terminal, which was put into operation this July. The airport has previously said it plans for the old terminal to be primarily used by low cost carriers and charter airlines once work on its reconstruction is completed.
This is a kind of Monty Python news. Good that they kept the good spirit :)
ReplyDelete:)) bring passengers first.
ReplyDeleteOpen indoor karting instead!
ReplyDeleteThat is the way it should be done. Minimal disruption for pax.
ReplyDeleteWiseheads here obviously never engaged in running any real business. LJU will reposition itself in due time
LJU will reposition itself in ...few decades you meant? With those wiseheads at Fraport even that is a bit optimistic
DeleteMakes absolutely sense, glad they are doing it. So LJU will be even more ready for the future.
DeleteIf LJU sees their future with OU, there is no future for LJU.
DeleteI don't know, guys. I think it's good news (for the general public) that they are investing (their private money).
ReplyDeleteI agree it is nice that they are investing. But the question is who will pay for this?
DeleteLast year management did state that Fraport Slovenia did take on bridge loan to found their monthly expenses. After this they requested 5 mil stimulation from the government to stay afloat. It is interesting that they did this instead of getting funds from Fraport groupe.
Airport is still being financed by the Slovenians government?
If it would be a long term lease to Fraport it would make sense. But because the airport is owned by Fraport groupe and Fraport group is owned by German government it forms a question.
Why is Slovenians government financing German governments firms ?
Because they literally shut them down for a few months, and grounded all civil aviation, which didn't happen anywhere else. 5 mio was therefore just a partial compensation for that time, but the actual loss was much higher.
Delete@anon13:00 exactly. Im surprised noone has asked the ministre of infrastructure about this.
DeleteI hope that they upgrade the first class lounge.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new premium lounge in the new terminal.
Deleteyou can hardly call it "premium". Looks very cheap. The offer is even cheaper.
DeleteIf reading comments (especially those concerning LJU) on this blog one can become depressed. Way too much negativity...
ReplyDeletebecause facts regarding LJU are so inspiring, right?
DeleteThe simple truth is that two "catastrophic" scenarios happened very close together - bankruptcy of Adria and COVID. Ryanair opening a base in Zagreb was another blow. Some people are now understandable angry at everyone involved and are making sure that they post as many negative comments under every Ljubljana article as possible. But if we are being realistic - we can't change the past. In medium to long term Ljubljana will recover, with national carrier or without. And despite what some people think, opening a new terminal in 2021 was an incredible achievement. I wish them all the best!
DeleteTrue. But not both of scenarios were unpredictable. Everyone in 2019 knew Adria will go bust and noone pulled the strings. As a frequent flyer I am angry, very angry, but not at everyone, but at those who are responsable for this dire situation: management of the airport, the gov and both ministres (of infrastructure and of Economic Development and Technology). And noone is making me post anything. no conspiracy here.
