It is located in the municipalities of Feldkirchen and Kalsdorf, 5 NM (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) south of Graz city center and mainly serves flights to European leisure and some metropolitan destinations.

Graz Airport consists of one modern passenger terminal building which features some shops, restaurants and service counters. The apron provides stands for aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 747. As there are no jet bridges, busses are used for boarding.

The travel time to the airport from Graz main station is approximately 12 minutes by regional train.
