Assistance for passengers with special needs

Ljubljana Airport strives to provide all passengers with access to all our services. In order to provide the best possible assistance to passengers with special needs, we must be informed of such needs in advance. We recommend you to provide as much information as possible regarding the required assistance to the carrier when booking the flight. Failure to do so, will prevent the carrier and airport staff from providing necessary assistance. In the worst-case scenario, the carrier might even refuse boarding to such a person.
Individuals in need of assistance or whose medical condition requires assistance, must register at the information desk in the check-in area of the new passenger terminal at Ljubljana Airport. During the booking, the passenger shall receive a universal card indicating the level of required assistance.

Passengers with special needs include:

  • People with reduced mobility
