Maryborough Airport (IATA:MBH,ICAO:YMYB) is located approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) north of the town centre. It serves as a small regional airport servingMaryborough and nearby townships. However, increasing competition withHervey Bay Airport has led to a decrease in commercial air traffic.
The airport is primarily used by the Maryborough Aero Club, a flight school and (in development) an aviation museum.
The airport was used by theRoyal Australian Air Force duringWorld War II; thebuildings constructed for the RAAF are now listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.[2]
