Aerodrom Ljubljana is the biggest and Slovenia's primary airport, it's also one of three international airports in country. It's a hub to Slovenia's airline, Adria Airways. There are no domestic flights, as Slovenia is small. The vast majority of scheduled flights are to points within Europe. Airport's single runway is the 3,300 metres (10,827 feet) long, asphalt 13/31. In normal conditions, all ariving aircraft use runway 31. For departing, they sometimes use 13 or 31, depending on aircraft destination.

Airport is backed with mountains and has a nice spotting points at the whole lenght of the runway.

Official Spotting Locations

Official spotting location is the terrace on top of the terminal building (just follow the markings), but it's unfortunately closed, due to expansion of the airport. It will be reopened in 2007.

Other Spotting Locations

Runway 31/13

There are very good spotting locations on the macadam road, along the runway. To get there, drive further on the Kranj-Brnik road and in the town Spodnji Brnik, turn right, to Vodice. Then drive for about 500 metres and turn right, when you see the runway. Then you can move freely along the runway. One of the best locations is on the beggining of runway 31, where you can see all aircraft landing.
