Plovdiv Airport is the airport of the second largest city in Bulgaria, Plovdiv. Often referred to as Plovdiv Krumovo Airport, after a small village located 12 km south-east from the city on the main highway Plovdiv-Asenovgrad. Due to its good location, near the famous Bulgarian ski resorts Bansko and Pamporovo, the airport is most active during the winter season. The airport also plays a vital role in case of emergencies and is sometimes used as an alternate for Sofia Airport, which is almost 150 km away or 1.5 hour drive on the Trakya motorway. A renovation process started at the beginning of 2009, the apron extension for 6 additional aircraft stands is made by Glavbolgarstroy and the new terminal building by local firm. The new terminal building was officially open on 1 July 2009. The new passenger terminal building has 10 check-in desks and 6 gates. It is designed to handle a capacity of 500,000 passengers a year - necessary for the needs of the flights of Ryan Air, which now operates here.

     Next to the airbase is the only functional aviation museum in Bulgaria. Opened in 1991 the museum has rich collection of modern, cold war airplanes and such from the Third Bulgarian Kingdom. Due to the low state budget, the collection is preserved mostly by donations. The museum is accessible with car driving towards the airport and is about 100 m from railway station "Mavrudovo", working hours for visitors are 9:00-16:00.
