New Route of the Day (26 October 2026): easyJet between London LTN and Ljubljana
easyJet introduced flights between London LTN and Ljubljana on Monday 26 October. The 1,250-kilometre route will be maintained 3-weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with the A320 aircraft. The LCC does not face any competition on the route.
What they said
Juergen Deischl, CEO at Ljubljana Airport, said: “The UK is one of our strongest growth markets. More than 160.000 passengers travelled between Ljubljana and the UK in the first eight months of 2026, an increase of 48% year on year. These figures matter. But what matters more is what connectivity makes possible: tourism, trade, investment and stronger links between people and businesses.”
easyJet is Ljubljana’s third-largest airline
London LTN becomes easyJet’s fourth route to Ljubljana, complementing its existing services from London LGW and Manchester, as well as seasonal flights from Edinburgh. The airline will further expand its presence in the Slovenian capital next April with the launch of flights from Berlin.
This winter, easyJet ranks as Ljubljana’s third-largest airline by available seat capacity, behind Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa. The carrier is offering 85,734 seats on its Ljubljana services, up 58.2% on the previous winter, when it ranked fourth.
easyJet now has maintenance base in Ljubljana
easyJet has completed its acquisition of the Ljubljana-based maintenance specialist Adria Tehnika following the resolution of a legal dispute that had delayed the transaction.
The takeover, first announced in December 2025 and initially expected to be finalised in early 2026, had secured approval from Slovenia’s competition authority but was subsequently suspended by a court ruling linked to a dispute between the now former shareholders of Adria Tehnika’s parent company.
The transaction was ultimately completed on 12 October, clearing the way for the maintenance provider to become part of the easyJet Group.
Adria Tehnika operates a five-bay maintenance facility at Ljubljana Airport and has performed more than 200 major maintenance checks on easyJet aircraft over the past decade. The acquisition forms part of the British low-cost carrier’s strategy to bring more heavy aircraft maintenance operations in-house.
