Holger Kowarsch, who became the new head of Adria Airways in February, is convinced that the new flight connections with the bigger European cities and Balkans are important for Slovenia's development.

Adria Airways plans to further expand its European network in the future. "We're a little air carrier and that's why we have to grow, strengthen our operations and improve our connectivity," said Kowarsch. He added that Adria's fleet will get three new planes this year, which is why there has also been an increase in the number of employees.
