Maribor Airport (Slovenian: Letališče Maribor) (IATA: MBX, ICAO: LJMB) is the second biggest airport in Slovenia, serving the city of Maribor. It is located a few kilometres south of the city, near Slivnica. The airport has no scheduled flights currently, there are, however, seasonal charter flights to coastal destinations.
Until recently the airport was served with scheduled flights by Slovenian Spirit, an arm of Styrian Spirit, which offered scheduled flights to Paris and Salzburg. These flights ended in March 2006, when Styrian Spirit ended operations due to insolvency.
In January 2006, it was reported that Ryanair will have started flying to the airport as soon as it receives a new shipment of planes, [1] (Slovenian) but the negotiations between Ryanair and Aerodrom Maribor have now come to a halt.
