The airport operator's subsidiary officially inaugurated a new passenger terminal at Ljubljana Airport in Slovenia a few days ago.

According to its own information, Fraport AG invested around 21 million euros in the ultra-modern terminal building. The Covid-19 pandemic slowed the project down a little, but despite the challenges everything went according to plan. After a construction period of around two years, the first passengers will travel via the new terminal from July 1st. 

“We are convinced that the new terminal will strengthen the competitive position of Ljubljana Airport both locally and internationally. With this terminal, we are symbolically stepping into the new future, ”says Pierre Dominique Prümm, Board Member Aviation and Infrastructure at Fraport AG. Since Fraport Slovenija took over operation of Ljubljana Airport in 2014, the company has invested more than 60 million euros in new facilities.

The airport's handling capacity has been more than doubled to handle over 1.200 passengers per hour. In addition to additional space, passengers can also expect a larger selection of shops, restaurants and other services. “The terminal focuses on the customer, our passengers. This will significantly improve the passenger experience at Ljubljana Airport, ”added Prümm.
