Adria Airways d.o.o. (formerly Inex-Adria Aviopromet and later Inex-Adria Airways) was the flag carrier of Slovenia, operating scheduled and charter services to European destinations. The company's head office was at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport in Zgornji Brnik, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, near Ljubljana. The airline was founded in March 1961 as Adria Aviopromet. In December 1968, Adria merged with the Serbian company InterExport based in Belgrade and changed its name to Inex-Adria Aviopromet (Inex-Adria Airways). Began a period of modernisation of the fleet, which allowed Adria to increase its share on the tourist flights market. In 1969, the first jet aircraft was purchased, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 with 115 seats. In September 1969 the first scheduled service was established on the Ljubljana-Belgrade route.
