NEWS FLASH
The Slovenian Aid Granting Commission has found that bids submitted by Iberia and Norwegian for the launch of flights from Madrid and Copenhagen, respectively, to Ljubljana, are valid and eligible for subsidies. The two carriers applied for the third round of financial assistance offered by the Slovenian government to improve the country’s connectivity. Iberia has since scheduled the launch of its Ljubljana service, with Norwegian yet to do so. The Ministry or Infrastructure now has a final say and must give its final approval for the funds to be granted to the two airlines. The state has allocated 16.8 million euros in subsidies divided over three years, or 5.6 million euros per year. The subsidies are designed to cover 50% of the airline’s airport costs in Slovenia. If funds are left over after being allocated to the two carriers, the state will launch a new public call.
This confirms that Iberia would operate the schedule flights in any case, and that they didn't schedule it because of the tender results. We should see them schedule yearly OPs once the tender results are OKed by the ministry
ReplyDeleteHopefully they operate them at a higher frequency than just twice per week on a 100-seater
DeleteMy guess is that it's gonna be 2x weekly, summer should get A320s and in winter CRJs are good enough
DeleteWhen DY will add flights to the system?
ReplyDeleteWhen ministry confirms the results of the tender, same with Iberia, they'll probably add flights after september. My guess is around 5th
Deletewhat are they waiting for? i mean ministry ...
