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.
On 8 March 2007 Ryanair announced that it will commence service between London-Stansted and Maribor in June 2007 three times weekly. The expectations from this service include an increase in tourist exploration of the region that has an excessive potential in all-year round offerings.
