It will again be possible to spot aircraft of Finnair at Ljubljana Airport. After a three-year break – the Finnish carrier last took off from Ljubljana Airport in October 2019, Slovenia will be once more directly connected to Finland. Through its home hub Helsinki Vantaa, Finnair will be also offering passengers convenient connecting flights to Asia. Flights will be available every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with departure from Ljubljana Airport scheduled for 9:25 and arrival in Helsinki scheduled for 13:05 local time, after a flight time of two hours and 40 minutes. Finnair will be operating the flights with an Airbus A319.
  
»We are very happy to see Finnair back after three years and that the carrier has placed Ljubljana Airport again on its route map. These flights will bring Slovenia and Finland closer together for leisure and business travelers, and following the relaxation of travelling limitations in Asian countries an important bridge is being rebuilt to enable the return of tourists from Asia to Slovenia,«  said the  Managing Director of Fraport Slovenija, Dr Babett Stapel, upon Finnair's return.       
  
“Passenger traffic has been recovering well in the first three months of 2023, and with every new week of the summer schedule it will become livelier. Recently our flight network has been enriched with three connections – Amsterdam, London Heathrow and Priština, and the number of weekly flights to Brussels, Zurich and Warsaw has grown. Soon we are expecting more frequent flights to Frankfurt, and until the summer connections to Paris Orly, Tivat, and Tel Aviv will return. Also, we will greet new flights to Athens. In peak summer season more than 130 flights per week will be available from Ljubljana Airport,«  added Dr Stapel.
