Ljubljana Airport Expands Flight Network for the Summer Season

The summer flight schedule, which will come into effect on 29 March, brings increased frequencies, additional capacity, and new routes to Ljubljana Airport. A total of 24 airlines will offer passengers 30 direct connections, including a new destination – Edinburgh, Scotland. This signals one of the strongest seasons for Ljubljana Airport in recent years.

During the summer season, which will run until the end of October, Ljubljana Airport is upgrading its flight offering and expanding capacity. Passengers can look forward to additional frequencies on many existing routes, a wide selection of charter flights to popular holiday destinations, and two new connections, further improving Slovenia’s connectivity.

As of 1 April, a new regular service by low-cost carrier easyJet will be launched at Ljubljana Airport. In addition to flights to London Gatwick and Manchester, the airline will also offer flights to Edinburgh. Two months later, Wizz Air will add a new connection to Podgorica to its existing flights to Skopje.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, which operates daily flights between Ljubljana and Amsterdam, and Swiss International Air Lines, with its route to Zurich, are introducing morning departures and evening return flights. Spanish Iberia will significantly strengthen its seasonal connection between Madrid and Ljubljana, with flights starting in early June and operating twice weekly until the end of September. Low-cost carrier Vueling Airlines will continue its flights to Barcelona during the summer schedule.

airBaltic is adding an extra weekly frequency on the route to Riga, while Aegean Airlines (Athens), Turkish Airlines (Istanbul), British Airways (London Heathrow), and Wizz Air (Skopje) are also increasing frequencies. Lufthansa will increase aircraft capacity on its routes to Frankfurt and Munich, while Finnair (Helsinki) and Transavia (Paris Orly) are returning to Ljubljana after the winter break.

flydubai has temporarily suspended flights on the Dubai–Ljubljana route, with services expected to resume after 29 April.

After closing 2025 with nearly 1.6 million passengers, representing a 10.6% increase compared to the previous year, Fraport Slovenia expects Ljubljana Airport to continue its stable growth in passenger traffic in 2026 and further strengthen its role as the region’s leading airport.

Positive outlooks are also evident for the winter schedule. This week, airBaltic announced the introduction of a new connection to one of the most popular Canary Islands – Tenerife. The first flight is scheduled for 30 October 2026.
