From this Friday on multiple weekly flights will be available to Greece, one of the most popular holiday destinations of Slovenes with air charter travel. Santorini and Crete, the first two islands to welcome them, will be joined by another 12 Greek destinations. During the summer a wide offer of flights will be available also to Spain, France, Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia.

With over 150,000 passengers handled, charter traffic has recovered to the pre-covid level already in 2023 at Ljubljana Airport, and this year it is expected to perform equally well.

From the Azores throughout the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and Northern Europe there will be as much as 57 holiday destinations reachable for a holiday getaway. Travel agencies have set up an even wider offer of charter flights this year, aiming to attract not only Slovene leisure travellers, but also Italian, Austrian and Croatian. We are excited to be starting with the peak of the summer season,” said Dr Babett Stapel, the Managing Director of Fraport Slovenija.
