Germany's group Fraport, which acquired Aerodrom Ljubljana in 2014 and renamed it Fraport Slovenija in April 2017, posted EUR 1.53bn in revenue in the January-June period, a 13% growth.

The group's EBITDA was up by 9.8% to EUR 461.3m.

Fraport also reports of passenger number rising. A total of 831,000 passengers were recorded at the Brnik Airport in the first half of the year, which is 15% more than in the same period last year.

The company attributes the strong growth to additional flight destinations introduced by flag carrier Adria Airways and higher demand for existing routes.

A drop in the number of passengers was recorded only with flights to Vienna, Belgrade and London's Gatwick.
