WHERE IS LJUBJANA AIRPORT, SLOVENIA?
Ljubljana Airport is also known as Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport or Ljubljana Brnik after the town where it is located.
In Slovene it is known as Letališce Jožeta Pučnika Ljubljana or Aerodrom Brnik Ljubljana.
It is located some 30km north of Ljubljana and driving time is around 20 minutes. From Bled, it is about 35km south and also around 30 minutes drive.
In 2021, the airport unveiled a brand new terminal which was designed to double capacity and improve the flow of passengers making it easier for visitors and staff.
At a cost of 25 millions euros, approximately 10,000 square metres of new floor space has been added to include two baggage claim carousels, an additional 14 check-in desks (22 in total),
five security lanes, refurbished restaurant and retail spaces, a larger duty-free shop, a business lounge and an improved baggage sorting area.
It can now comfortably handle 1250 passengers per hour.
The outside space was also improved to include new parking spaces and areas for transport pick up/drop offs and even a small park.
But the improvements and enhancements are set to continue with further upgrades to the business lounge and new self-service bag drop off points.
