airBaltic Gran Canaria Ljubljana winter service begins with weekly A220-300 flights every Friday through early April 2026.
Latvian carrier airBaltic (IATA: BT, ICAO: BTI) has added a direct connection between Gran Canaria and Ljubljana using its Airbus A220-300 fleet. The new service runs once a week on Fridays and will operate through early April 2026, linking the Canary Islands’ seasonal base with Slovenia’s capital.
The route is part of airBaltic’s wider winter expansion, aimed at bringing more Central European visitors to Gran Canaria while giving island residents improved access to Central and Northern Europe. The airline says the single-weekly frequency targets leisure travellers seeking winter sun and easier onward connections across the Baltics and beyond.
The company is deploying the A220-300 on the sector — a narrow‑body, twin‑engine jet known for fuel efficiency and a comfortable cabin on short- to medium-haul flights. Operating a regularly scheduled Friday service through the winter season creates a predictable option for weekend breaks and transfers into Slovenia and neighbouring markets.
The move reflects a trend of carriers sustaining seasonal routes into European leisure destinations during winter months. For Gran Canaria, the link to Ljubljana supports tourist flows from Central Europe; for Slovenia, it opens a direct leisure gateway to the Canary Islands. Customers should check airBaltic’s schedule and booking channels for exact flight times and connections, as seasonal services can be subject to changes.
