Letalisce Joze Pucnik Ljubljana (as from 09 June 2007) 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. | Letalisce Joze Pucnik Ljubljana (as from 09 June 2007) 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. The airport's single runway is the 3,300 metres (10,827 feet) long, asphalt 13/31. As long as conditions permit, all arriving aircraft will use runway 31 since only this runway has an ILS. When conditions become marginal for runway 31 things can get unpredictable as some pilots will opt to land on 31 while others opt to go round and land on 13. For departing, they sometimes use 13 or 31, depending on traffic and/or weather situation. | ||
Airport is backed with mountains and has nice spotting points along the whole length of the runway | Airport is backed with mountains and has nice spotting points along the whole length of the runway. | ||

It is also possible to reach the perimeter track on foot. Starting from the terminal, turn left as you leave the airport and walk along the roadside till you get to runway 13. There is a path which leads round the airport to the unpaved track on the opposite side of the runway. It is a further 45 minutes along this track to the runway 31 end, but this route is easier for walkers than that via Spodnji Brnik since it involves less roadside walking and the main road has no walkways - only a grassy verge, which is safe but rough going. | It is also possible to reach the perimeter track on foot.

Along much of the fence you will need a ladder, but without a ladder it is still possible to catch aircraft against the mountains shortly before touchdown. | |||
