Master Plan Summary - Aerodrom Ljubljana

Surface Water
• New retention (basins or ponds) have to be planned and implemented along with the
new apron development areas.
• New separators need to be installed at all aprons.
• A new covered retention basin will be required in the eastern part of the airport land.
• During winter months the de-icing liquids from the de-icing pads shall be led to the
pollution control at the de-icing pad on the passenger apron.
• The design is in line with the requirements of LJU airport.
Railway Connectivity
In parallel to the preparation of this Master Plan, a railway connectivity feasibility study
was carried out by a separate consultancy firm. During the course of the Master Plan
project, coordination meetings took place between both project teams. The consultation has
indicated that
• There will be a link to the airport from Ljubljana City;
• That there will be a link to the Passenger Terminal from the main line,
• That the main line is likely to run on the Northern side of the Runway although the
Southern side will be maintained as an alternative.
Alternative - Connection Light Rail (blue)
The Master Plan assumes that until 2030 the airport is expected to be linked to a rail system
(tram line or rail loop to the main railway line) with high capacity and reliability.
Modal Logistics Center
The multi-modal logistics center (MLC) is mentioned in the context of this Master Plan
on the merits of a previous study conducted by Symbios for Aerodrom Ljubljana in 2007.
The MLC is relevant to the Master Plan also because it carries a significant impact on the
cargo traffic assessment. In the context of future requirements for cargo facilities, the MLC
is seen as a growth catalyst that contributes to substantial increases in Ljubljana Airport’s

expected cargo throughput in the future. According to Symbios’ prognosis, the absence of
the MLC alongside the airport may compromise Ljubljana Airport’s growth opportunities in
cargo related traffic. Being a multi-modal facility, its development is concurrent with the
development of the proposed railway alignment in the vicinity of Ljubljana Airport.
