Ljubljana Airport welcomes its millionth passenger

Ljubljana Airport marked its millionth passenger of the year today on a KLM flight to Amsterdam. Reaching this milestone earlier than in 2024, the airport anticipates serving more than 1.5 million travelers by year’s end, supported by new direct routes to Las Palmas, Manchester, and Barcelona.

The milestone came several weeks earlier than in 2024, reflecting Ljubljana Airport’s ongoing efforts to grow traffic and enhance connectivity, including the launch of five new direct routes this year. To mark the occasion, all passengers on the lucky flight were treated to a sweet surprise, while the millionth traveler received a special gift – two KLM tickets to Amsterdam, along with a photo opportunity with the cabin crew before departure.

"We are delighted to welcome Ljubljana Airport’s 1,000,000th passenger this year on KLM. Since launching our Amsterdam-Ljubljana route in March, we've expanded travel options and flexibility for our customers. With Air France-KLM’s network of 300 destinations, travelers enjoy seamless global connections. We’re pleased to announce this route will continue throughout the winter season, ensuring year-round service," said Razvan Radut, Country Sales Manager Air France and KLM.

"We are happy and proud to have welcomed our millionth passenger earlier than last year, which reflects Ljubljana Airport’s continued growth and the increasing trust of passengers in our services. With a record number of scheduled airlines this summer season, a wide selection of scheduled and charter destinations, and upcoming direct flights to Las Palmas, Manchester, and Barcelona, we expect to successfully serve more than 1.5 million passengers by the end of the year," highlighted Janez Krašnja, Head of Airline Management at Fraport Slovenija.
