LJU Ljubljana

How deep the LJU board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from LJU. This reads the same 44 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 39of the 44 destinations are flown by one airline
• 31destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 25%of the destinations name Trade Air, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at LJU

33 airlines appear on the LJU board and they do not hold it evenly. Trade Air is on 11 of the 44 destinations, 25 per cent of them, and on 9 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 2.6 of the 35.3 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is easyJet on 3 destinations. 25 of the 33 airlines at LJU appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at LJU: one airline on 25 per cent of the destinations and the other 75 per cent spread across 32 airlines. A cancellation inside the Trade Air network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 33 destinations Trade Air does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the LJU board is daily

Of the 44 destinations, 13 are flown at least once a day and 31 are not, 13 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the LJU board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: LJU to Zakynthos Island (ZTH) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 13.9 of the 35.3 departures a day, 39.3 per cent of the whole board. With 70.5 per cent of the 44 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of LJU where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 19 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from LJU

The desk holds the return direction for 35 of the 44 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into LJU runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Cologne (CGN) at 1 out a day against 0.29 back, Istanbul (IST) at 2.7 out a day against 1.9 back and Podgorica (TGD) at 1.6 out a day against 1.1 back.

It runs the other way as well: Leipzig (LEJ) files 0.71 a day back into LJU against 0.14 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at LJU

LJU keeps Europe/Ljubljana time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at LJU, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at LJU and still make a departure the same day.

The night at LJU

9 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from LJU that lands inside it leaves around 21:36, on a modelled block of 1h 24m. Into Zurich (ZRH) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from LJU that lands inside it leaves around 21:48, on a modelled block of 1h 12m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from LJU that lands inside it leaves around 21:15, on a modelled block of 1h 45m. Those three departure times out of LJU are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where LJU turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Slovenia country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 1 airport pair page that start or end at LJU, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Ljubljana to Dubai (DXB).

14 courier postings name LJU as the airport a courier here flies from: Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Villach and Zagreb.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with LJU already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 44 destinations above.
