Use Planning
The Necessity for a Land-Bank
Ljubljana International Airport is a prime airport of national significance to Slovenia. As an
airport, it is recognizably a strategic national asset and a socio-economic catalyst for the
country’s development.
For future planning purposes, it is also important to recognize that the sustained preservation
of this land-bank is far more cost-effective and certainly less onerous than any compelling
need in the future to rebuild a new facility on a greenfield site.
Land Use Concept
Future land-banking can only be undertaken if there is a clear and agreed understanding
of the ultimate use of each and every zone within the airport site. Accordingly, the following
Land-Use Concept was developed, as a first step and in close association with airport

management, to define the current and future use of airport related land.
The benefits of developing the long term zoning strategy are:
• to organize the airport area by allocating areas for specified developments,
• to ensure that different parts of the airport can be expanded in a flexible way and
according to their specific requirements,
• to ensure that any such expansion shall be possible with minimal disruption to the
airport operations,
• to provide an important communication tool to the wider community, stakeholders
and the airport company,
• to future proof investments and developments,
• to ensure that developments are undertaken in a structured, safe and cost efficient way.
