The airport in this moment is partially reconstructed in order to become a civil airport. ==History== Užice-Ponikve Airport was built in the period from 1979 to 1983 but until 1992 it hasn’t been actively used. After airport in 1995 turned into the public airport in 1996 and 1997 Jat Airways, then known as JAT Yugoslav Airlines, served the airport twice a week for a domestic round line Užice - Belgrade - Tivat - Užice, with an ATR 72 turboprop airliner. Part of the (Motel "Kadinjača" ) close to the (Kadinjača Memorial Complex ) about 4 km (2.5 mi) from airport, is temporarily adapted into terminal for receiving and outgoing of passengers. Passengers transported directly to plane by bus. Operations ceased in 1998 as the number of passengers reduced greatly. Ponikve airport was heavily bombarded by NATO forces during the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The airport now has a brighter future with construction/reconstruction, due to interest of local companies in cargo transport and great potential of this region in tourism. In the airport vicinity are some of the popular tourist attractions and ski centres (Zlatibor mountain, Tara mountain), also the Šargan Eight - famous narrow gauge railway and (Drvengrad ) (Literally: ''Timber Town'') at Mokra Gora (Literally: ''Wet Mountain''). On September 27, 2006 it was announced that Ponikve Airport would be sold and converted for civilian use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Užice-Ponikve Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
