Lolland Falster Maribo Airport

Overview

Lolland-Falster Airport (IATA: none, ICAO: EKMB) is a small regional airport located near the town of Rodby on the island of Lolland in southern Denmark. It primarily serves general aviation, including private and charter flights, as well as some domestic air taxi services. The airport is a gateway for travellers heading to the Lolland-Falster region, an area known for its flat landscapes, agricultural heritage, and proximity to Germany via the Rodby-Puttgarden ferry route.

Unlike major commercial hubs, Lolland-Falster Airport handles a modest volume of traffic, making it a convenient option for those seeking a quieter, more direct way to reach this part of Denmark. It is particularly useful for business travellers visiting local industries, tourists exploring the islands’ natural attractions, and private pilots. The airport is also used for flight training and recreational flying.

Location & Access

Lolland-Falster Airport is situated approximately 5 kilometres north of Rodby town centre, on the island of Lolland. The address is Lolland Falster Airport, Kragevigvej 7, 4970 Rodby, Denmark. The airport lies close to the E47 motorway, which connects Rodby to Copenhagen and the rest of Zealand via the Storstrøm Bridge to Falster.

By car, the airport is easily reached: from Rodby town, follow the signs north towards Maribo. Parking is available on-site, including a designated wheelchair-accessible car park. For those relying on public transport, the nearest bus stop is about 1.5 km away on the main road, with limited services connecting to Rodby station. Rodby itself is a ferry port with frequent departures to Puttgarden in Germany (a 45-minute crossing), making the airport a potential entry point for travellers coming from Germany. By taxi, the journey from Rodby town takes under 10 minutes, and from the larger town of Nakskov (30 km west), about 30 minutes.

The airport is also accessible by bicycle along local roads, though facilities for cyclists are minimal. The nearest major city is Copenhagen, approximately 150 km north (about a 1.5-hour drive via the E47).

About the Region

The Lolland-Falster region comprises the islands of Lolland and Falster in southern Denmark. Known for their flat, fertile plains, the islands are a centre of Danish agriculture, particularly sugar beet and grain production. The area is also famous for its scenic countryside, cycle routes, and historical sites such as the medieval city of Nykøbing Falster and the Gothic Aalholm Castle (near Nysted).

The islands are connected to Germany by the Rodby-Puttgarden ferry route, a key link for road and rail traffic between Scandinavia and Central Europe. The Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link (a tunnel currently under construction) will eventually replace the ferry, further increasing accessibility. For travellers, Lolland-Falster is a quiet alternative to the bustle of Copenhagen, offering coastal nature reserves like the Nakskov Fjord and the bird sanctuary at Guldborgsund.

Tourists often visit for outdoor activities: cycling the many waymarked routes, sailing, fishing, or birdwatching. The region also hosts cultural events, including the Lolland Festival of classical music. The airport itself is well situated for exploring both islands—by car, Nykøbing Falster is about 30 minutes east, and the southern coast of Lolland with its sandy beaches is within 15 minutes.
