Lolland Falster Airport (Maribo Airport)
A friendly general aviation airfield in the fields of Lolland, where local clubs, small aircraft and big skies create a quietly captivating gateway to southern Denmark.
Lolland Falster Airport, also known as Maribo Airport, is a small regional airfield set in open countryside between Holeby and Rødby on the island of Lolland in southern Denmark. Serving general aviation rather than big commercial jets, it functions as a friendly gateway for pilots, gliding and parachute clubs, sightseeing flights and events, while also providing a practical link to the wider region near Rødbyhavn and the Fehmarn Belt corridor.

Local tips
- Bring binoculars or a zoom lens if you enjoy aviation photography; the compact layout offers clear views of the runway, apron and hangars from a few well‑chosen vantage points.
- Check in advance if local gliding or parachute clubs have activities or open events on the day you plan to visit, as these can significantly enliven the atmosphere.
- Pack layers and a windproof jacket, as the flat coastal landscape can feel breezy and cool even on otherwise mild or sunny days.
- If you are not flying, combine a short airport visit with time in nearby Maribo or Rødbyhavn to make a fuller day out on Lolland.
- Call or consult official information ahead of time if you need specific facilities such as hangar space, fuel services or special assistance as a pilot.

Getting There
-
Car from Rødbyhavn and southern Lolland
From Rødbyhavn and the ferry area, driving to Lolland Falster Airport typically takes about 10–15 minutes, depending on traffic and conditions. The route uses regional roads through open countryside and is straightforward to follow with in‑car navigation. Parking is usually available directly at the airport without separate fees, but spaces can feel busier during club events or airfield activities, so allow a little extra time on peak days.
-
Car from Maribo and central Lolland
Reaching the airport from Maribo by car generally takes 15–20 minutes. The drive runs through largely flat rural areas with good‑quality roads and clear signage toward Rødby and the surrounding villages. There are no tolls on this stretch, and fuel stations are found in Maribo and near the main routes rather than next to the airport itself, so it is sensible to fill up in town before setting off.
-
Taxi within the local region
Taxis operating around Maribo and Rødby can provide direct transfers to the airport. Travel time is roughly 10–20 minutes depending on your starting point, and typical fares within this range are often around 150–350 DKK, varying with distance, time of day and any waiting charges. Pre‑booking is advisable, particularly early in the morning or later in the evening, as on‑demand availability may be limited in rural areas.
-
Cycling from nearby towns
For confident cyclists, the fairly flat terrain of Lolland makes a bike ride to the airport enjoyable in suitable weather. From nearby villages or the outskirts of Rødby, expect a ride of around 20–40 minutes, depending on your exact starting point and pace. Surfaces are mostly paved, but some sections may be exposed to wind and occasional passing agricultural traffic, so high‑visibility clothing and lights are recommended outside bright daytime conditions.

A quiet gateway in the fields of Lolland
Lolland Falster Airport sits amid flat farmland and big skies between Holeby and Rødby, a modest strip of asphalt in a landscape of windbreak trees and open fields. As a regional airfield rather than a major hub, it feels more like a well‑kept aeroclub than an anonymous transport node. You see single‑engine aircraft parked on the apron, hangars lined up along the taxiways and the low terminal buildings arranged around a compact airside area. Because the airport is small, everything feels close and manageable. From the edge of the runway you can take in the surrounding countryside, with church spires and wind turbines punctuating the horizon. On clear days, the light over Lolland has a soft, northern quality that makes the aircraft and ground markings stand out almost theatrically against the grass.From local airfield to regional lifeline
Also known as Maribo Airport and carrying the IATA code MRW and ICAO code EKMB, this airfield has developed as a civil airport serving the twin islands of Lolland and Falster. Positioned south of the town of Maribo and not far from Rødbyhavn, it plugs the region into domestic and northern European aviation networks, even though scheduled traffic is limited. Over time, the airport has become an important logistical and symbolic link in a part of Denmark better known for ferries and highways than runways. Its location near the Fehmarn Belt corridor means it can support business flights, technical operations and special missions, from survey flights to training sessions. Yet despite this strategic layer, the atmosphere on the ground remains relaxed and personal.Clubs, community and skybound hobbies
One of the distinctive features of Lolland Falster Airport is the cluster of aviation clubs that call it home. Gliding enthusiasts tow sleek sailplanes into the air to circle quietly on thermals above the fields, while motor‑sport flyers and microlight pilots share the pattern with training aircraft. Parachute and skydiving activities bring a different kind of energy, with jump planes climbing steadily before releasing colourful canopies high above the runway. On weekends, the apron can feel like a small festival of aviation, with clubhouses open, coffee brewing and members chatting beside their aircraft. The airport also hosts events and open days where local residents, families and aviation fans come to watch take‑offs and landings, learn about flying and sometimes book short sightseeing flights over the islands and the Baltic coast.Architecture, layout and on‑the‑ground experience
Architecturally, Lolland Falster Airport is functional rather than flamboyant. Low‑rise terminal and operations buildings cluster near the main apron, with hangars extending along the airfield. The design reflects practical concerns: easy vehicle access to airside areas, straightforward taxi routes, unobstructed runway approaches and clear safety zones around active surfaces. For visitors, the experience is refreshingly simple. There are no long corridors or confusing signage; instead you find a small parking area, direct access to the main building, basic passenger facilities and immediate views of the runway and aircraft movements. This intimacy makes it an appealing spot for aviation photography, quiet plane‑spotting or simply taking a break during a wider exploration of Lolland and Falster.Why it matters to travelers and pilots
For pilots, MRW offers a convenient general aviation base in a part of Denmark where airports are sparse between Roskilde and the German border. The surrounding flat terrain and generally mild coastal climate create forgiving flying conditions, and the airport staff and clubs form a knowledgeable local network for visiting crews. For non‑pilots, the airport is less a passenger hub and more a window into local life and hobbies. It can form a memorable stop on a road trip across Lolland, pairing easily with visits to Maribo’s lakes, Rødbyhavn’s port area or the beaches along the southern coast. Even a short visit can give you a feel for the region’s blend of rural calm, technical expertise and quiet ambition to stay connected to the wider world above the Baltic Sea.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
