History

Belgrade's first international airport (also known as Dojno Polje Airport) was opened in March 1927 on the territory of today's Novi Beograd. From February 1928 planes owned by the first local airline Aeroput (today Jat Airways) started taking off from the new airport. The airport's landing strip consisted of four grass runways between 1,100 and 2,900 m (3,609 and 9,514 ft) long. A modern terminal building was built in 1931, and in 1936 equipment to enable aircraft to land in poor visibility landing was installed.^[2] 1938 Aeroput summer time table Aeroput (Serbian Cyrillic: Aeропут) was the national airline of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. ...

Besides Aeroput, Air France, Lufthansa, KLM, British Airways and airlines from Italy, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Poland also used the airport until the Second World War.

Belgrade Airport after WW2

Yugoslavia (Jugoslavija in the Latin alphabet, Југославија in Cyrillic; English: South Slavia, or literary The Land of South Slavs) describes three political entities that existed one at a time on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe, during most of the 20th century. ...

Civil transport by Air Force cargo planes via this airport was renewed at the end of 1945. At the beginning of 1947 Jat Airways and JUSTA took over domestic and international traffic, and from 1948 the first Western companies' planes started to land on this airport.

Constant traffic increase and the appearance of passenger jet planes demanded a significant airport enlargement. In the meantime there was a plan to build Novi Beograd on this location, and so it was decided that a new international airport should be constructed near the village of Surčin. The last flight from the old airport was at the beginning of 1964.^[3]

Construction of a new airport

During the first years of the development of postwar Belgrade, construction of the modern airport became a social and economic priority. Basic studies and engineering research started in 1947, and became part of the 1950 General City Plan. This document of undeniable historic importance for Belgrade clearly defined the future or air traffic and the role of Belgrade's Airport within the Yugoslav and the international air network.

The new location for the airport was on the Surčin plateau 12 km (7 mi) from Belgrade's city centre.^[3] Thanks to the original planners' vision, two important preconditions for the airport development were fulfilled: a suitable location was chosen, which met all the navigational, meteorological, construction, technical, and traffic requirements; and the special needs for the airport's long-term development were established.

The Serbia City Planning Bureau experts, with the architect Nikola Dobrović at the helm, made the preliminary plans for the new airport.^[3] The development and realisation of the idea was taken over from 1953 onwards by the Civil Aviation Department (later Federal Department for Civil Aviation) whose experts, with engineer Miloš Lukić as a team leader, finished the general airport plan for one runway, appropriate taxiways, and a terminal complex in 1957. Building of the new airport started in April 1958 and lasted till April 28, 1962, when it was officially opened by President Josip Broz Tito.^[3] is the 118th day of the year (119th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 1962 (MCMLXII) was a common year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1962 calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... Tito redirects here. ...

During that period a 3,000 m (9,843 ft) long runway was built with the parallel taxiway and appropriate concrete aprons for sixteen planes. The passenger terminal building occupied an area of 8,000 m² (2 acres). Cargo storage was also built, as well as a technical block with the air traffic control tower and other accompanying facilities. Modern navigational equipment was installed, earning the airport the highest international classification according to the International Civil Aviation Organization.^[4] A square metre (US spelling: square meter) is by definition the area enclosed by a square with sides each 1 metre long. ...

A countrywide petition was signed to have the name of the airport changed to Belgrade Nikola Tesla International Airport. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian inventor, generally thought as the world's most important electrical engineer. Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)[1] was a world-renowned Serbian inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer. ...

The proposal was accepted by Aerodrom Beograd P.E., the state-owned airport authority, and received approval by the Ministry of Capital Investment, and finally the Serbian Government on February 2, 2006.^[6] On July 10, 2006 to mark 150 years since the birth of Serbian scientist Nikola Tesla, a monument was erected near Terminal 1.

In 2006, the airport served a total of 2,222,455 passengers, which represented an increase of 9% over 2005 figures. After 17 years, the airport served its 2,500,000th passenger on the 28th of December.^[8] The official total number of passengers served for the full year 2007 was 2,512,890.

In August 2007, the management of the airport announced that within the next 4 years Terminal 2 gates will be expanded as well as parking spaces for aircraft. Terminal 1 and 2 would be connected as well. The management also announced that it plans to start construction of a second runway in 2011.^[9] August 2007 is the eighth month of that year. ... 2011 (MMXI) will be a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

2008

2008 will again be a year of improving airport facilities according to the airport’s management. Although Terminal 2 was reconstructed in the period from 2004 until 2006 a small area near the departure gates were left untouched. As a result these areas will be reconstructed during the year. The business class lounge will be renovated as well while basic services will be improved such as flight arrival and departure screens and baggage trolley availability.^[10]

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport expects to win a tender for the construction of a new terminal at Bodurm Airport together with a Turkish partner in 2008 which will be of great economic benefit for Serbia‘s largest airport. Milas-Bodrum Airport (IATA: BJV, ICAO: LTFE) is an international airport that serves Bodrum. ...

Many airlines have postponed planned new services to Belgrade, mainly due to visa restrictions and bureaucracy exerted on the Serbian citizens by the European Union. Eventual removal of traveling restrictions is expected to drastically impact on the number of carriers serving Belgrade.^[10] For other uses, see Belgrade (disambiguation). ...

Terminal 1

Terminal 1 (T1), was the original terminal when the airport was opened. The terminal handled domestic flights during the SFR Yugoslavia. Since the break up of the union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2006, the gates of the terminal have been used for international flights by international and domestic carriers. All passengers now check-in at Terminal 2 however after passing security and passport control they proceed to the gates located in Terminal 1 (which is connected to Terminal 2). Though in the summer season charter flights still check-in at Terminal 1 so large queues are avoided near Terminal 2 check-in. The terminal contains 8 gates, A1-A8. In T1 one can find restaurants "Aviator" and "Boeing", the "Business Club Lounge" and various shops. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was the Yugoslav state that existed from 1945 to 1992. ...

The terminal went through a major renovation in the 1980s when air bridges were added to connect passengers to their aircraft. Minor renovations were done in 2002. Even though Terminal 1 and 2 are located one next to the other and are connected through a hallway, the airport management announced in 2007 that the departure hall in terminal 1 would be connected to the departure halls in terminal 2. However, the system which should be completed by 2011 has not been specified yet.^[12]

Terminal 2

A new terminal, Terminal 2 (T2) was constructed during the 80's for the airport ever growing passenger numbers and the need for a larger capacity. After 2 years of high scale renovation, T2 opened in May 2006 and has 33 check in desks and the latest security technology.^[11] The terminal has a capacity of 5 million passengers.^[13] The arrivals area of the terminal was also completely reconstructed. The terminal has 6 gates, C1 to gate C6. The terminal contains airline offices, transfer desks and various shops.

Terminal 2 now serves as both the international and domestic terminal, (departures and arrivals) offering the latest in modern technology, and comfort.

In 2007 it was announced that within the next 4 years the C platforms (T2 gates) will be expanded and that it is the highest priority investment for the airport. The expansion will cater for the growing number of passengers passing through the airport.^[11]
