History

The airport once served as Podgorica's only airport, mainly for military use, and withstood heavy bombing during Bombing of Podgorica in World War II. It was named after People's Hero of Yugoslavia Špiro Mugoša [sr].

It was opened officially with a paved runway in 1994^[clarify], and it is one of the five Montenegrin airports to feature a paved runway.

Since Podgorica Airport was built in the 1960s, Ćemovsko Polje Airport caters to the needs of general aviation, as its 800-metre-long (2,600 ft) runway cannot serve larger aircraft. Aero Clubs Špiro Mugosa and Krila Podgorice currently operate the airport, and organize parachuting, gliding, and other air sports activities and training.
