Slovenia in talks with several airlines over partnership

The Slovenian government is in talks with several carriers over their role in improving the country’s air connectivity. Some are interested in establishing a new local airline, while others are seeking ways to use state subsidies to launch new routes. “Government representatives or ministries are talking to anyone who expresses an interest in this. Among them are Air France, Croatia Airlines, Cyprus Airways and at least one or two more companies. My feeling is that they are interested”, Slovenia’s Minister for Infrastructure, Alenka Bratušek, said. She added, “The goal is to find a strategic partner that could perform approximately sixty operations per week to eleven destinations from Slovenia”.

Cyprus Airways has been in talks with several governments to establish new bases, while it is considering the possibility of a new locally branded airline in Slovenia. “In our longer-term plans we are looking at establishing several bases in the Mediterranean and possibly beyond”, Cyprus Airways’ CEO, Paul Sies, said, adding that the carrier is open to continuing discussions with the Slovenian government over a potential new national airline. Talks between the two sides were held on July 5, where the Slovenian government concluded that, “They [Cyprus Airways] are interested in establishing a company in Slovenia and possibly in some other countries in the region in the future”.

On the other hand, Croatia Airlines has shown greater interest in establishing services from Ljubljana to destinations such as Sarajevo and Pristina without necessarily basing an aircraft in the Slovenian capital, but rather incorporating these flights with its operations from Croatia. Ms Bratušek said it is too early to draw any conclusions whether the talks with any of the interested parties will be successful. The government has expressed interest in establishing a new national carrier in partnership with a private entity. However, Ms Bratušek noted, “Today, it is absolutely too early to say whether we will be able to launch a new company with a strategic partner. The subsidy tenders [for the launch of new routes from Slovenia] are the first step towards better connectivity”. During the first tender aimed at improving the state of Slovenia’s aviation sector, two carriers applied for subsidies - Air Montenegro and Luxair - with the latter to launch operations from Luxembourg to Ljubljana in September. The government has branded the lack of interest for the tender as a disappointment. A second public call was recently launched.

      across all south slavic nations 38 million people travel through our airports at record number.

      and all countries are struggling with air connectivity and getting majority share in their home market.

      don't quote me and cut it short. if you read the sentence to the end. 38 million travelled through all our airports in the year 2019. this was our highest record.
      i googled air travel of each country and just added the numbers they had listed on their wiki page.

      thanks for reminding me of the 2022 numbers which is below our record year of 2019 and still recovering from the covid lockdown/restrictions.

    Most of these will fail in the end because the market is just too small. If you combine LJU and ZAG both airports will have between 4.7 and 5 million passengers this year. This is considerably less than PRG, OTP, BEG, SKG, TIA, SOF... there is simply no volume split between the two to sustain a meaningful operation.

    Adria is dead, Croatia Airlines is dying, Wizz Air almost completely withdrew from LJU and they never returned to ZAG, FR has been shifting capacity left and right instead of growing in ZAG...

    All of this shows that these markets are struggling to provide enough passengers to airlines that are focusing on them. Best is to help airlines introduce flights from their hubs and in such a way improve connectivity.

    Both markets are sandwiched between BEG/JU and VIE/OS while LCCs have small bases all around.

      Just to add, the only way these markets could work just fine is if Croatia and Slovenia built a joint airport on the border and to be managed by both countries jointly. They could extend a rail link to both capitals to make access easier.

      However I don't see their egos going for that option and then there is the issue of corruption. So now ZAG and LJU will fight each other for crumbs while giving massive tax payer funded benefits to large European corporations like Lufthansa or Ryanair.

      They should jointly invest in that airport, at least for LCCs as neither LJU nor ZAG are exactly successful as airports. I think Slovenia would go for it as they practical and reasonable. It's Croats who would shoot down the idea. Just imagine the debate in Sabor.

      cooperating together on an airport to benefit both countries is a step to improving those arbitration problems whatever they are.
      like if you want things to be better you have to do something. If not a shared airport. a shared/cooperative airline.

      but would EU allow it though, thats another issue.

      cause since JAT doesnt exist Lufthansa cartel and LCC have come to take advantage.

      Since I'm the one with original comment about stupid idea (later comments are not mine), let me share you some details on why your idea is no less than stupid:
      1. both airports, LJU and ZAG are profitable.
      2. setting an airport around Krško would mean that you're puting an airport in one of the Slovenian poorest areas. For what? To serve Croats?
      3. I'm from Slovenia, working in aviation. Not from Croatia, and certainly not from Posavje, like you, I assume.
      4. Ask Germans and Turks about commercial benefit of having two airports
      5. There is not a single case in the world with idea like yours. And no, that doesn't mean that until now nobody had such a brilliant idea, it means that your idea is stupid.

    This is painful to watch. No Slovenian govt (left, central@right) has no idea, no strategy for aviation sector. They are all just buzzing from flower to flower, like deranged bee. The Central Comitee Ligue of Communists in sixties had more vision and courage, when they ordered establishment of airport and Adria. Bratusek is totaly incompetent for the ministry she is running. She was good pm, but this is beyond critical. It is obvious that they (govt) have no firm stance on how to solve lack of aviation connectivity. Some would do mothing (“market will solve it”), some would start state owned company, but for peanuts and also have no clue what gigantic endevour this is, some would give out subsidies, some would have joint venture…but all they do is endless talks with no solution on horizon. I have lost all hope something will move in near future. At the end, we will have some kind of hybrid frankenstein: some subsidies, some agreement with Cyprus or whomever, Lufthansa feeder and god knows what else…all but national carrier with clear goals.

      A national carrier's only real goal in such a small market is to hire as many party aparatjik brothers and cousins as possible.
      And the surest result will be tens of millions (if we are lucky) of losses every year.
      Sounds promising. Or maybe not.

      I said, there is no clear strategy. Where did you find cousins I don’t know. But what I do know is, that politicians who were strongly against helping Adria had no moral scrupuls asking for id 90 tickets (and not stand-by)

      No, I want them to decide how state perceives aviation industry in Slovenia and act upon that decision. Do they want a state owned airliner? Stat behind that and do eveything necessary. Do they want a system of subsidies? Stay behind it. Do you want existing company to take role of “state owned airline”? Stay behind it. But they don’t. They just leave all doors opened and hope for the best.

    I could imagine (but just imagine!) that JU could move its ATRs to Ljubljana, open EU company and starts flying. Of course, once when ATRs are replaced with E190/195.
    And then easy easy increase fleet size by numbers and aircraft size.

      In 2020 Duncan Naysmith, then CEO of Air Serbia had talks with Slovenian government over doing that. But that was back when they thought Covid would wipe out the aviation industry. I don't think the new (current) management has any plans to base aircraft in Slovenia but who knows.

      Cyprus has 12xA220 on order and they said 4-5 is more than enough for LCA. This is the reason, why they are looking for other underserved markets.
