Dubinje Airport (Serbian: Војни аеродром Дубиње / Vojni aerodrom Dubinje) is a military airbase near the town of Sjenica, Serbia.
History
The airbase was used by Yugoslav Air Force. During the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, it was damaged. In 2006, the Serbian Ministry of Defence announced that it would sell the land and premises, but this was never materialised. The management of Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport have visited the air base that same year, and announced plans of making a project aimed at turning the air base into a public airport used for cargo.
