NEWS FLASH


Lufthansa will reduce frequencies on flights from Munich and Frankfurt to Ljubljana during part of the upcoming 2025/26 winter season. From December 2025, until late February 2026, the airline will maintain daily flights between Munich and the Slovenian capital, down from ten weekly last year. The reduction on the Frankfurt - Ljubljana service will be limited to January only, during which the German flag carrier will run twelve weekly flights, down from fourteen weekly. Further changes at this early stage remain possible.

    Same as SKP - they are clearly seeing weak numbers those months.

      It's not the same because SKP will have 0 rights while LJU will have 21 weekly.

      Macedonia traveling public has voted with their wallets. They would rather pay for a great service with TK than an overpriced LCC service with LH.

      I thought Fraport and LH were the same and were only interested in helping LH get a bigger share of LJU traffic?

      They will do everything not to reach 2 mio pax. Getting to 2mio would mean opening the ground handling service to other providers. Not happening.

      Several factors:
      Slovenes travel less during that period or can not afford 3-4 travels a year or they go ski
      Not much ethnic traffic
      Foreign tourists prefer SLO from March till October often in combi with the Adriatic coast. European travellers during that period prefer Egypt, DXB, BKK, Caribbean, Canary Islands etc
      SLO foreign major trade is within car distance as main trade partners after Switzerland are South Germany, Italy, Croatia and Austria.

      Don’t forget to mention that many of them rather fly from ZAG with LH… that’s why they put a320 there and have lower prices but in LJU we have crj900 with less seats which means higher prices and “less” demand in LJU

    To be fair, most of the Munich flights are scheduled on AirDolomiti E195, so in total the capacity is the same

      LX already reduced flights in Jan 2025. They do this also for other destinations. In general, people travel less by air mid January until early March. Ski season and people spend big money as ski vacations are def not cheap

      And they will continue to lose passengers and frequencies, and not only within ex-yu. Flew AMM to FRA (and on to ZAG) with LH. One way economy ticket +700 euro. Plane was A321. Delayed so I almost missed my connection and missed nerves running through FRA to catch it. Never sat on such hard and uncomfortable seat, like wooden, with so small pitch. On 4 hours flight were oferred drink ONCE. Sandwich was also served- completely FROZEN, so the option was not to have it or to have your tooth broken. Cabin crew was so "posh", "elite", "noble" and "on level " that it was more than pathetic and actually hilarious. Therefore, never again with them!

    You lot here are crazy, it's getting more and more obvious that OU is taking over FRA nad ZRH route, so the schdule is being adjusted to a minimal viable one. Once OU enteres with those flights, everyone will be rebooked to those OU flights, and if OU bails out, they'll have options to add flights/capacity.

    MUC on the other hand is getting an increase of capacity, as they were already filling A319 in late winter months this year.

      OU could only do this with a leased aircraft and crew. OU is having enormous problems with the transition to the new A220 aircraft and the appropriate retraining of pilots. Given the plan to gradually retire old aircraft as new ones arrive, it will not have any spare aircraft at its disposal.

      Will do so after SLO did its homework and have trains running at 160 km/h throughout the country. Everything else will remain a dream, until maybe in 2060 high speed trains from Venice to Vienna or Budapest run through the country at speed of 280 km/h.
      LJU-MUC I hardly doubt there will be high speed links still within this century

    I'm not surprised! From LJU, flights with LH are EXTRA expensive, a return ticket is around 450eur, while LH operates return flights ftom Trieste TRS foraround 250eur. Who is crazy here that doesn't understand??? Bravo Fraport. The Slovenian government should buy out the share of Fraport. This was the biggest mistake!

    and not to mention, Fraport didn't finish the terminal, the columns in the entrance hall are visually disgusting! There is a lot of empty space between terminals A and B. The biggest failure is that all charter flights are routed through OLD terminal B (if you want to see history, welcome, because this part is from 80s with original parts) bravo Fraport. get out!
