Slovenia and Japan have taken steps to strengthen bilateral ties with a focus on aviation connectivity. During an official visit to Tokyo yesterday, Slovenia’s Economy Minister Matjaž Han met with Isato Kunisada, Parliamentary Vice-Minister at Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The two sides discussed the possibility of enhancing direct air links between the countries, with the Slovenian government aiming to restore long-haul services and meet Japan’s growing interest in boosting tourism and business travel to Central Europe.
Ljubljana Airport previously handled charter flights from Japan, most recently in 2019, when Japanese carrier ANA operated two flights from Tokyo to the Slovenian capital with its Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
