Trstenik Airfield (ICAO: LYTR) (Serbian: Аеродром Трстеник, Latin: Aerodrom Trstenik), also known as "Odžaci", is a recreational aerodrome in Serbia, 2.5 km from the town of Trstenik and 12 km from the spa of Vrnjačka Banja. The airfield is within the closest vicinity (60 kilometres-about 50 minutes by bus, instead 2 hours 45 mins from Niš Constantine the Great Airport transfer[clarification needed]) to the famous Kopaonik mountain ski resort, and is also 20 kilometres from the Goč mountain.
The grass runway is 80 meters (260 feet) wide with concrete runway beginnings on both thresholds 30 meters (98 feet) in width and 300 meters (980 feet) in length.[clarification needed]
In 1990, construction finished on a new control tower and underground fuel tanks.[citation needed]
History
[edit]On 4 July 1965, Jat Airways, then known as JAT Yugoslav Airlines, opened a route between Belgrade and spa resort Vrnjačka Banja with a Douglas DC-3 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.[citation needed]
