Stansted still missing. but with this i believe we will be back on a same level as before covid... finally. and btw you can see there are more UK tourists in Ljubljana...

Stansted is arguably the worst of the 3 LCC airports serving London so it doesn't bother me all that much

Well for many people its fine so as always with 'which-airport-is-better-in-London comments' personal opinion doesnt mean much.

well for it would be nice to have connection to all major London airports year round - Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton ...

My guess is that they'll open it up for summer 2027, similar to what they did with EDI

I don’t see how Berlin could work. Little incoming tourism from there, little industry. I would think Basel would work much better due to the vast pharma investments in SLO from CH. They’ve just started building yet another factory right at the airport.

Stansted has very cheap flights from KLU. Flew from there in March and many Slovenians aboard.

I think the flights would be a lot fuller from KLU if they marketed it in any way. I know a lot of people from Kranj and Jesenice, who drove to ZAG to take London flights, when they had KLU flights for cheaper (and faster)

It's very difficult for BER to be successful LCC route as both airports are too expensive...

At the guys saying he does not see LJU working from Berlin. Give me a break, we are talking about a city of 5 million people of the strongest economy in Europe. 2-3 flights a week is like 500 people. Give me a break :D

BER is difficult due to high taxes for the airlines. Ryanair just announced closing BER hub and withdrawal of 7 based aircrafts. Buying power of population declining, not much industry. I would prefer other airports in the south or PRG

But BER did work in the past. They were just about to increase it and than covid hit… that’s why everyone is saying we need it back because it was working

BER would definitely work. But it would affect LHG transfer thats why it hasn’t happened yet. I hope BT makes a move and launches it. A220 has a perfect capacity for this route. 3 weekly.

They don’t base aircraft there :/
But they could base one in LJU :D

Lufthansa can replace Munich with Air Dolomiti

It’s not easy to replace 27 aircraft. To fully replace CityLine Air Dolomiti would have to double the size their fleet.

Munich will be back in JUNE #EDIguy

They work well because the demand is both sided, UK turist love to visit Slovenia for a weekend getaway, so they do what they know will work. With Berlin the connection is VERY one sided as Germans love to travel by car to Slovenia.

It's odd that they aren't opening Switzerland connection or even Milan one tho...especially with Swiss comfortably filling 3 daily flights, 60% of which is P2P because of pharma, and Trieste-Milan train is always filled with Slovenian travelers

The train station at TRS really is used by a lot of Slovenians. I was quite surprised when I took the fast train to Rome from TRS airport train station a couple of months ago.

If they want to start Milan route, they should do it by the next summer season, if they won't Frecciarossa is scheduled to come when the Ljubljana train and bus station is completed

Milan to Ljubljana is too close

I think they operated it as the first route out of Ljubljana.

Nevermind... https://www.exyuaviation.com/2010/11/easyjet-dumps-milan-ljubljana.html

Ljubljana was connected to 4 airports in London in the past... so no biggie

According to a certain expert here LJU should have kicked out all airlines except LHG and make everyone fly through FRA, VIE and ZRH. It used to be MUC too but the system glitched and deviated from its core mission form making LJU a 100% LHG airport..

anon 13:45, actually 5. Don't forget Adria's London Southend adventure.

But that was from MBX. Adria once served heatrow and later gatwick.

Because Luton serves areas north of London. If you live in Northampton, Milton Keynes then its closer

They actually did. All LGW flights this week are on A321 neo
