Yes, the runway is very adequate. I was trying to suggest that Ljubljana city and the lakes and mountains may not have the touristy pull of the Adriatic coast destinations and would thus be more suited to small regional jets. Adria Airways themselves used to fly CRJ aircraft; I don't know if they still do.

As far as I remember, PH-TVP didn't receive any Britannia titles, logos etc. It was simply white with Transavia titles and its registration. Perhaps it was a hurriedly-arranged sub-charter, giving little time to 'Britanniafy' the aircraft. As it stayed on the Dutch register, it may not have been documented by the UK CAA. That's my theory anyway. The fact that it was the only 737 to do the PUY-LBA-PUY rotation in 1983 suggests it was brought in for specific routes only, to keep life simple !
