Ljubljana Airport confirms Pegasus talks

NEWS FLASH


Ljubljana Airport has confirmed it is in discussions with Pegasus Airlines over the carrier’s potential entry onto the Slovenian market. As EX-YU Aviation News reported last week, the budget airline is considering services between Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport and the Slovenian capital. In a statement to “Forbes Slovenia”, airport operator Fraport Slovenija, said, “We are in talks, but it is too early to provide more detailed information on whether or when the service will be implemented”. Pegasus Airlines is expected to launch up to three weekly flights to Ljubljana next year.

    This route would be amazing and I am sure the airline is interested … I hope the government won’t cause any problems here and accept the agreement.

      Wasn't the market free? Why does business have to comply with the government? Only in Slovenia are we negotiating with the state to start flights. This is not North Korea, people.

      Off topic, but from what I read somewhere, the EU may stop imposing restrictions on non-European airlines flying to the EU, also not needing a local AOC.

      @16.15 This is completely normal and is explained in the linked article. Turkey has bilateral agreements with each and every EU country separately where both sides nominate operating carriers. The agreement between Turkey and Slovenia is from 97. Turkey is notorious for being very restrictive with its bilateral, same like India. Also Turkey takes years to adopt any changes in bilaterals even when they are negotiated. For example the renegotiated Serbia-Turkey bilateral took 5 years to pass the Turkish parliament. It took 10 years for the Turkey-Croatia bilateral to be passed by Turkish parliament.

      Non - European airlines don't need local AOC to fly to Europe. It's only when they want to base aircraft within EU. And even if some of restrictions were lifted or reduced, no way non-EU airlines would be allowed to base plane in EU without local AOC

      I’m pretty sure Slovenian authorities are no different from any other Balkan country, but this is likely an issue on the Turkish side. To summarize, TK needs to allow this route first, similar to Serbia and Croatia.

    I would prefer TK 3 daily, also to expand long haul connections ex IST or any connections.
