On 12 May 2020 the Government of the Republic of Slovenia is withdrawing measures that were restricting air transport in Slovenia. It has assessed that this measure is no longer necessary.

As a consequence of the covid-19 pandemic air traffic in Europe and all over the world has been severely limited. Ljubljana Airport has been opened again for passenger flights from May 12, since the government has lifted the ban on commercial air traffic.

In the Summer Timetable, which will come into effect on March 29, 2020, the offer of flights from Ljubljana Airport is to be substantially expanded. Currently twelve regular air carriers will be joined by at least five during the summer season: British Airways with flights to London Heathrow, Finnair to Helsinki, Israir Airlines to Tel Aviv, Windrose to Kiev and Iberia to Madrid. Some connections will be strengthened by operating bigger airplanes or adding frequencies. Passengers will be able to choose from more than 160 weekly flights to 22 destinations in 15 countries. The volume of charter flights will be comparable to last year's, eight airlines will take passengers to 21 summer holiday destinations.

Zgornji Brnik, 27 Feb. 2020 – Fraport Slovenija has introduced a resolution on the development of transport infrastructure in the vicinity of the Ljubljana Airport. The resolution has received support from all six of the neighbouring municipalities in the Gorenjska region.

The year 2019 at the Ljubljana Airport was marked by major changes in traffic structure and extensive investments in airport infrastructure, including breaking ground on the new terminal. We ended 2019 at 1,721,355 passengers, which is down five percent on 2018.
