Serbia produces second ghost airport


The opening of Užice's Ponikve Airport in Western Serbia is not expected any time soon, becoming the country's second airport to boast a new terminal building with little or no traffic. The airport was initially to open for commercial use last August, following the completion of a new passenger terminal. "The runway is 3.100 metres long, of which 2.200 metres have been overhauled. The length is more than enough to accommodate larger aircraft. However, the main problem, and the reason we are still unable to handle any flights, is the lack of a perimeter fence", the General Manager of Užice Airport, Saša Savić, said. A further three million euros are required to complete the work, however, funding issues have delayed the opening until further notice. Local municipalities have called on the government to provide the necessary finances as the airport would boost both tourism and the local economy. "We are trying. We have a development plan, ambitions, big hopes and few resources. We built a terminal to try and bring the airport to an acceptable standard. We had big plans for 2016 but unfortunately the funds that were promised to complete the runway overhaul and set up a fence never came. We have deferred those plans for this year and now we can just sit and wait to see what will happen", the airport's General Manager said.

Užice Airport was destroyed during the 1999 NATO bombing. However, the Serbian government and the European Union have jointly invested over one million euros into the creation of a project masterplan, while significant funds were put into the removal of unexploded bombs around the airport's runway. Its control tower was reopened in 2013 following a major overhaul by the Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services Agency, while Belgrade Airport also donated funds. Late last year, Mr Savić said, "There is interest for flights, especially from foreign tourists who would like to visit nearby Zlatibor Mountain and Mokra Gora. We are already in talks with a local hotel in Zlatibor and have discussed the possibility of operating promotional charters to several European countries (Cyprus, Greece, Russia and Slovenia) with both smaller and larger aircraft, including Boeing jets with the capacity to seat 150 passengers". He added, "If these prove successful, we hope to have regular charter flights next year". Low cost airline Wizz Air has shown its support for the new airport development and said it would consider flying to the city.


The Užice region is home to some of Serbia's most exported goods. On the other hand, it is also close to several major cities in the former Yugoslavia, with Sarajevo and Belgrade just 118 kilometres away. During the 1996 summer season, JAT Yugoslav Airlines operated a two weekly Belgrade - Užice - Tivat service. Over the past few years, small private aircraft have used the airport during the daytime. However, questions have been raised whether Užice Airport will follow in the footsteps of Kraljevo, in central Serbia, which opened a new modern terminal building in 2012 which has not been used since.

      BEG was ranked 84 in 2014, 87 in 2015 and 93 in 2016.
      The problem is that most other airports close to it are growing much, much faster than BEG. Newcastle, Liverpool, Eindhoven, East Midlands, Seville, Bilbao have higher increases.
      Only Turkish airports have similar or worst performance.
      It is highly probable that in a couple of years BEG will drop out of the top 100 like it was before 2013 and the creation of Air Serbia.

      It was nowhere before but with both FR and W6 opening new routes all the time it easily surpassed BEG.
      Will the airport authorities and the government allow BEG to become a base for low cost carriers like SOF or will it try to limit competition for ASL any way it can?
      If it does allow I can easily see BEG traffic rising quickly above 6-7 million. SOF and OTP show us the way.

      In Bulgaria, Sofia has only Plovdiv which is some 145 km away.
      From international airports there is only INI which could potentially steal some passengers.
      In other words Sofia is blessed given how little competition it has.

      Unfortunately for BEG, it has BUD, TSR, INI, OSI, TZL... which are fighting for the same market.

    If the road network was not as bad, Uzice could have acted as a cheaper alternative to Sarajevo, the two airports are about 180 km one from another.

    They should reach out to one of the lowcost carriers because this region has money. During a recent study on who has the greatest chance of being poor, Uzice ranked second to last with 17% right before Belgrade.

      I agree that Kraljevo (Lađevci)airport has more potential than Užice (Ponikve)airport, unlike some other opinions on this forum. Firstly, it is less than 50 km away from three major Serbian cities: Kraljevo, Čačak and Kragujevac, which combined have 300.000 inhabitants city proper. Secondly, catchment area includes Raška, Moravica, Šumadija and Zlatibor okrugs (districts), partly Resava and Kolubara as well, which is in total 1.100.000-1.400.000 people. Thirdly, it is the closest airport(compared with BEG and INI) to 3 major touristic places of interest in Serbia: Kopaonik(ski center), Vrnjačka banja(spa center) and Zlatibor-Mokra gora-Tara(mountains, NP, Eco tourism), with Studenica and Sopoćani monasteries and Stećak necropolis'(which are all UNESCO world heritage sites) being in the same area as well. And last, it is 20 km away from Obrenovac-Požega highway, which makes it well located having in mind future expansion of this road(Belgrade to Bar, Adriatic port of Montenegro). It just needs runway extension and overhaul and apron enlarging, as well as good management and touristic promotion of the region. Up to 5 annual and 10 seasonal flights with numerous charters is a realistic future developement.

      With the highway, Surčin is as much Novi Sad airport as is Belgrade's. It's no more than 35-40 minutes from city center of Novi Sad to the terminal building - on par with some parts of Belgrade. Modern rail between two cities would reduce travel time to 15-20 minutes (yeah, I know, science fiction at this point...) - building another airport to serve this area would be a collossal waste of money. Especially with untapped potential of BJY as a low cost base, once BEG reaches capacity - which is even closer to Novi Sad.

Firstly, it is less than 50 km away from three major Serbian cities: Kraljevo, Čačak and Kragujevac, which combined have 300.000 inhabitants city proper. Secondly, catchment area includes Raška, Moravica, Šumadija and Zlatibor okrugs (districts), partly Resava and Kolubara as well, which is in total 1.100.000-1.400.000 people. Thirdly, it is the closest airport(compared with BEG and INI) to 3 major touristic places of interest in Serbia: Kopaonik(ski center), Vrnjačka banja(spa center) and Zlatibor-Mokra gora-Tara(mountains, NP, Eco tourism), with Studenica and Sopoćani monasteries and Stećak necropolis'(which are all UNESCO world heritage sites) being in the same area as well. And last, it is 20 km away from Obrenovac-Požega highway, which makes it well located having in mind future expansion of this road(Belgrade to Bar, Adriatic port of Montenegro). It just needs runway extension and overhaul and apron enlarging, as well as good management and touristic promotion of the region. Up to 5 annual and 10 seasonal flights with numerous charters is a realistic future development.

    OT: From another forum, the guy has inside infos, still doesn't know about flights to NYC or Beijing from ZAG, but...

    There is another surprise planned (new route from ZAG) which is almost certain and will be announced soon. Also, for the opening of the new ZAG terminal a special plane will be there (A380, I suppose, but which carrier, maybe Lufthansa)

      There was a comment here that Emirates will send a A380 for the first flight
      The opening is probably in late March..probably something from either LH, AF..Qatar or BA even ?

      Since Emirates will start in June, it should be some other carrier, I'd bet on Lufthansa, would be really nice to see it!

    4. New route by new carrier or new route by OU?

      I think it's something much bigger than OU, but can't claim since I'm just reposting other guy's info. (from Skyscrapercity)

      Don't know, the "code" was written by a guy who knew about EK coming to ZAG, he doesn't write BS, maybe it's a joke, maybe it's a hint. The other guy, who really does have inside infos from ZAG management, wrote today about a big surprise which could be a new route. Let's wait and see, everything should be announced soon.

    What kind of a "general manager" says "and now we can just sit and wait to see what will happen"? *That* is the basic problem...

    OT: nice to see the pictured Finnair's DC10 at DBV in the vintage section.
    AY will be flying to DBV 8 weekly with A321 this summer. Any chance of an upgrade to a weekly A333 or A343 service?

    The only culprit of this ¨ghost airports¨ is Air Belgrade, with its policy based on we just fly from Belgrade to Belgrade and for Belgraders, from one HUB-Belgrade.
    I'm almost sure they are getting mad because INI is doing so well.
    One ATR72 would be more then enough to cover INI, KVO and UZC, with few weekly flights to 3 or 4 destinaions (which is not Belgrade certainlly)!

      Did you even read the article? No commercial plane in the world can land there because the airport is not complete and does not satisfy international standards. The traffic at Nis Airport completely annuls your entire rant that an airline is holding aorports back.
