Britannia Airways Flight 105 (BY 105) was an international tourist chartered flight from London Luton Airport for a flight to Ljubljana Brnik Airport (today Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport). Passengers were primarily British, most of them going to their vacation in Yugoslavia.
When Ljubljana had about 40,000 inhabitants, the city authorities decided to impose a "mechanised" means of transport and in 1900 Splošna maloželezniška družba (English: General little railway company) was officially established. Without special ceremony, the tramway officially started to operate on September 6, 1901.
