"Ljubljana Airport is competing with five airports in a radius of just 250 km. Fierce competition demands agile and innovative communication approaches. We created our own web platform to highlight attractive live flight deals from Ljubljana Airport. Extending these into online advertising within a private data management platform allows us to carefully and cost effectively target our passengers and stimulate demand."

Monika Jelačič, Head of Corporate Communications

"Ljubljana Airport unveiled a new passenger terminal in July 2021. We doubled the terminal capacity, solved our operational bottlenecks, gained higher quality and variety of passenger services and an improved working environment. The construction work was completed on schedule and within budget, despite extremely demanding conditions. This was possible thanks to a great teamwork and project commitment."

Robert Rauch, Executive Project Leader

"Serving as a charter base is exciting for our business. The growing network of holiday destinations available from Ljubljana demands agile ground handling teams that go the extra mile to ensure vacationers have a good journey, no matter the timing of the flight. Our adaptability will support the endeavours to position Ljubljana Airport as the regional gateway for charter flights, attracting passengers also from neighboring countries."

Vekoslav Lepojić, Load Control Agent

"Our company’s strong commitment to sustainability is reflected in our achievement of a Green Star certificate in 2025, awarded by CER – Sustainable Business Network. This recognition confirms that we are firmly on the right path toward our goal of becoming a net-zero airport by 2045. At Ljubljana Airport, sustainability is not just a pledge but an integral part of our daily operations - from electrifying ground support equipment and optimising energy use to investing in solar power and reducing waste."

Primož Primožič, Environmental Expert at Fraport Slovenija, d.o.o.

"To further strengthen the competitiveness and strategic importance of Ljubljana Airport for the region, we continue to invest in our infrastructure. Our current investment cycle is focused on airside development. In 2025, construction of the new Taxiway J and the refurbishment of a section of Taxiway A were successfully completed, further enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring sufficient manoeuvring capacity for wide-body aircraft operations. In 2026, the modernisation of the main apron is underway. This renovation and reorganisation project represents a significant step forward in enhancing the airport’s operational capabilities. Together, these projects represent one of the largest airside infrastructure investment programmes at Ljubljana Airport in the past decade."
