History

The airport was built as a military one, and used by Yugoslav army air force. During the 1999 NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia, it was damaged.

On 27 September 2006, the Military of Serbia announced that it would sell Sjenica Airport meaning that the airport would become public.

Future reconstruction

The management of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport have visited Sjenica Airport on 18 May 2006, and announced plans of making a project aimed at turning this airport into a public one. The airport will mostly be used for cargo and possible tourist transport. Local companies confirmed their interest for this project.
