Most popular · OctoberLjubljana Airport, April 1977. Between 1972 and 1982, passenger traffic at Ljubljana Airport more than doubled, rising from 275,460 to 627,931. Cargo volumes followed a similar growth trajectory. At the time, the airport ranked fifth in the country by passenger numbers but was close behind Belgrade and Zagreb in terms of cargo handled. Belgrade was Ljubljana’s most served destination, with over thirty weekly flights, while JAT and Inex Adria maintained connections from Ljubljana to all other Yugoslav capitals. On the international front, the airport offered nonstop services to Frankfurt, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Zurich and New York. It also established itself as a key winter travel hub, with charter operations continuing to provide an important source of revenue. Traffic peaked in 1987 when 886,248 passengers passed through the airport. JAT held a dominant 51% share of the market, while Adria Airways accounted for around 40%, solidifying the two carriers’ leading positions at Ljubljana Airport
