Numbers decline at Ljubljana and Adria

Adria records passenger decrease

Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport announced last week that the number of passengers using Slovenia’s largest airport in the first half of the year decreased by 8.9% compared to last year. The airport handled 558.00 passengers. Similarly, the airport’s revenue has tumbled. Ljubljana Airport managed to record revenue of up to 14.7 million Euros, which is 5% less compared to the same period last year, while profits halved to 1.5 million Euros. The less than perfect economic performance has forced the airport’s operator to revise its budget for the year. Ljubljana Airport is served by eight scheduled airlines with the low cost easyJet to launch new flights this winter.

Meanwhile, Adria Airways’ shareholders and partners have passed a motion to inject 2.5 million Euros into the airline. In the first half of the year, Adria Airways transported 433.600 passengers, a decrease of 2.6% compared to 2009. However, the airline’s average cabin load factor stood at nearly 63%.
