Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport

Ljubljana – Air passenger traffic in Slovenia recovered last year from the shock caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the three international airports in the country serving a total of 419,300 passengers or 46% more than in 2020. The lion’s share represented passengers served by the Ljubljana airport.

Ljubljana – The government is planning for a multi-modal logistics hub to be built as part of development of Maribor airport until 2025. The Smart Hub Maribor is to be expanded from the initial 50 hectares to 630 hectares in 2030, Infrastructure Minister Jernej Vrtovec announced after the government session on Thursday.

Brnik – A new passenger terminal was inaugurated at the Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport on Wednesday. The expansion brings 10,000 square metres of new surfaces, including more space for security checks and baggage handling, and more check-in points. Once opened for business on 1 July, the airport will be able to handle more than 1,200 passengers per hour.

A foundation stone was laid on the occasion, with representatives of the company promising the project's finalisation by the end of 2018.

SHS Aviation claimed that the Edvard Rusijan Airport in Maribor would have eleven regular routes by the end of this year, and one of the routes would be to China. How is the plan progressing?
