Best GA airport ever. Davor and Team are rare examples of professional, helpful and practical ground handling staff.
A quick note ahead is appreciated via load@mbx-airport.si.
Fuel always quick and good price (cheaper than LOWG, Jet A and Avgas).
5+1 Landings training package available.
Rental car via Sixt Maribor available.
For best Taxi in area call/whatsapp Kaja +386 40 603 603 or +386 41 910 510
Insider tip: Tell ATC you taxi to Letalski and find a nice Aeroclub Cafe open almost always with nice atmosphere.

It's just a great place. I really enjoy coming here to practice, do approaches, and so on. They also have a very reasonable rate for that. Sometimes there are quite a few planes here at the same time for practice.
The tower always asks you which programme you'd like to fly.
Everyone is very friendly.
A training fee for a PA46 costs €42.60.

Maribor (LJMB) is a well-equipped airport with a 2500m hard-surface runway, ILS approach, and both Avgas 100LL and Jet A1 available. PPR is generally required and can be arranged efficiently via load@mbx-airport.si, with prompt responses to email requests. Customs and immigration are available during normal operating hours, typically 0700z–1630z, and Schengen entry/exit is handled quickly; for technical or fuel stops, formalities are straightforward. The airport is popular for training, offering a 5+1 landings package and accommodating both VFR and IFR operations, including STAR/ILS practice. ATC is flexible with convenient arrivals and departures.
Fees are generally low for GA. Example: landing about €20; landing plus handling about €40; technical landing plus short parking about €50. A training package of six landings or approaches costs about €30. Handling may be required for customs/immigration but is efficient; all major credit cards are accepted.
Facilities include modern infrastructure, toilets, free WiFi in the office, a coffee machine (coins only), and occasional access to a bistro or terrace café. Rental cars can be arranged via Sixt Maribor with delivery to the airport at no extra charge; taxis to the city cost around €15, or the city can be reached by train from Orehova Vas station after a 20-minute walk (1.7 km). Staff are consistently described as friendly, professional, and helpful.
For arrivals from the northwest, approach over reporting point MW1 at 3500 ft is recommended due to paragliding activity on nearby hills; VFR flight routes should be observed as published in the AIP/NOTAM. Procedures may vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
Maribor is considered an excellent stop for fuel, training, or Schengen border crossings, with efficient service and good value for general aviation pilots.
