Austrian Airlines explores return to Ljubljana amid talks with government

Austrian Airlines has held talks with the Slovenian Ministry for Economy, Tourism and Sports, where the two sides discussed Slovenia’s air connectivity. It is the latest in a string of high-profile meetings between the government and foreign carriers and the first time the Austrian airline has met with state officials. Ljubljana Airport recently noted that it is also in talks with Austrian Airlines in order to regain flights to Vienna, which were discontinued upon the demise of Adria Airways in 2019. “The obstacle is the capacity available at Austrian Airlines, as it currently does not have a suitable smaller aircraft that would make it worthwhile to fly to Ljubljana. We are in constant contact with them regarding the establishment of flights to Vienna and, of course, we are working towards this, and we hope that it will be back in our network as soon as possible”, the General Manager of the airport’s operator Fraport Slovenija, Babett Stapel, said last week.

The Lufthansa Group was quick to respond to the collapse of Adria Airways in 2019 by covering key routes served by the former Slovenian flag carrier and ensuring the continued flow of transfer passengers through its hubs. Lufthansa commenced operations from Munich and Frankfurt, Brussels Airlines from the Belgian capital and Swiss from Zurich. However, Austrian Airlines has notably skipped the opportunity to introduce services between Vienna and Ljubljana, despite passenger figures indicating there is solid demand. Services to the Austrian capital were one of Adria’s better performing routes, with double daily flights maintained over the summer months and an average of around 60.000 passengers per year.

Ljubljana - Vienna route passenger performance


Adria Airways relied on transfer passengers between the two, both those headed or originating from regional markets such as Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as those originating or heading to Ljubljana from other destinations in Europe and North America. However, a sizable number of travellers were still point-to-point. Notably an additional 10.925 people flew indirectly between the two capital cities in 2019, although this was mostly generated in the third and fourth quarters when Adria was cancelling a number of flights before ultimately declaring bankruptcy. Austrian Airlines had previously operated its own flights to Ljubljana, discontinuing its daily service on the fifty-seat Dah 8-300 turboprop at the end of the 2005 summer season. Adria Airways then increased its operations to the Austrian capital, maintaining four daily rotations until the 2009 global financial crisis. In its final summer season of 2019, Adria Airways served Vienna twice per day.

      They fly to Graz with E195, and it is even less than 30 min (average flight time is about 23 min). Not saying that the plane is (fuel) efficient on that route, merely noting that with the right amount of support shorter routes can pay off as well.

      Nobody has analyzed impact on Klagenfurt- Vienna market once Adria wasn't on the market. That aside, 60k pax is more then enough for mix of a319 and e195. LJU-VIE and VIE-KLU are perfect routes for future "green" battery or hydrogen powered aircraft. Only problems are: hydrogen infrastructure, battery cycle life and certification of everything.

    If they still had their Dashes in their fleet, then it would be the ideal plane. Thing is they got rid of them. They used to have 76 seats and now their Embraers have 120, which is maybe too much. I think Lufthansa "fears" that Austrian might cannibalise its existing their MUC, FRA and "daughter routes" BRU and ZRH. In BEG or SOF for instance, you may literally have up to 10 daily flights if you combine FRA, MUC, ZRH which is not a small number. No wonder why the European Commission is "concerned" about LH buying ITA Airways because they want to have even a higher monopoly in Europe given that FCO is a huge airport.
    Would be interesting to see how the talks would end. Maybe LH would first revise the current schedule in LJU and adapt it to their "needs". Doubt the traffic would be O&D given the short distance from LJU to VIE and OS are known to be notoriously expensive when they want to unless they are not threatened on VIE by a LCC such as FR or W6.
    The good thing is that LJU is finally waking up and doing well and 2024 seems promising.

      Guys, I don't understand why passengers should be happy because of the fact that an airport has only 25 min of connecting time instead of for example 1 hour. I understand that you can get a faster connecting flight, but it doesn't help you so much if you miss the flight for 5 minutes and that it was the last flight of the day😐

      Were these transfers from Balkans to Vienna, or from Ljubljana headed onto Austrian flights?

      According to Fraport, fees are not the issue but the market.

      I think the government put VIE on the list just to attract Austrian.

    Have a feeling Austrian is coming back to LJU in 2024.

    I'm noticing the Slovenian government has been much more proactive with airlines. This is a good sign.

      Just the opposite, FRAPORT is more active because of government efforts.

    Some people here still don't understand that number of pax on route doesn't mean that the route is profitable.
    LJU-VIE is a short line that it's almost served faster with car than plane. It's not a P2P route, it's almost solely used as a connecting flight. This was one of Adria's biggest loss making routes, so I really don't understand why Austrian, a company that it's looking to make profit, would jump on this route just because 60.000 souls flew with Adria once.
    Some of you here should really start thinking reasonable and beyond "plane spotting" mentality. Wake up and smell the roses...

    You can fly with LH via FRA, MUC to most destinations.
    If you are flying via VIE no additional destinations added with AUA: except Erbil (Turkish via Istanbul is better anyway), Chisinau (but can be LOT via Warsaw too), Iasi and Kosice.

      Yes but it would cover different time slots which is also important. You could fly from Ljubljana via frankfurt and return via vienna.

    Austrian used to have an excellent feeder fleet and was able to fly to places like Ljubljana but also Mostar and Banja Luka because of it. They used to be dominant in the region but not anymore.

      IIRC it was Tyrolean Airways (not Austrian Airlines) that served Mostar about 27(?) years ago. At that time Tyrolean was still independent, but I guess they had a code-share with OS on the VIE-OMO route?

    Austrian used to serve LJU on daily basis years ago, when austrian (by that I mean the state, not airliner) was midst blitzkrieg on Balkans. Remember those times? They were investing heavily in our area (banks, shops, insurance companies). They were establishing a stronghold here. Forcing Austrian to serve cities in our region was just part of the strategy. I used to fly quite a lot to PRG via VIE at that times. Then Adria started to serve VIE with increased frequencies also for political reasons and it forced Austrian out, as they were in deep trouble by that time. When LH took them over, they abruptly discontinued many routes, LJU amongs first. If they will eventually serve LJU again, it will be just to utilize Dash 8 which is already on its way out.

      The last Dash-8 left the fleet in Mar 2021. If they will establish route to LJU, it will be a feeder route to their Vienna hub and nothing else. They are looking for some money from the government though.
