History

On 4 July 1965, Jat Airways, then known as JAT Yugoslav Airlines, opened route between Belgrade and spa resort Vrnjačka Banja with a Convair CV-440 Metropolitan aircraft.

In 2007, the Vrnjačka Banja resort and the Trstenik airport requested approval for opening the airport to the public. The government will most likely accept the proposal.
