## Description

Once floated as a cargo gateway, Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport (IATA: MBX, ICAO: LJMB) today sees little of the sort. Set near Orehova Vas south of Maribor, Slovenia's second city, it has almost no scheduled traffic and serves mainly training, business and charter flights along with general aviation. Regular air freight is not handled; cargo movements are occasional and small in scale. A severe hailstorm in June 2024 badly damaged the terminal and forced a temporary closure, with partial reopening from August 2025 and roof repairs due by November 2025. For dependable air freight, Graz (GRZ), about 60 km north, is the nearest real alternative.
