Location

Belgrade, Serbia

Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Serbia, serving as the primary air gateway to the capital city and the wider region. Named after the renowned Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, the airport handles the vast majority of international passenger traffic entering and leaving the country. The airport underwent significant modernization and expansion efforts in the 2010s and 2020s, including upgrades to Terminal 2 and improvements to airside facilities. In 2018, a long-term concession agreement was awarded to a French-led consortium (Vinci Airports) to manage and further develop the airport through 2048. Belgrade Nikola Tesla serves as the primary hub for Air Serbia, the national carrier, and connects the Serbian capital to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America.

Terminals

The airport operates two passenger terminals (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) that together handle all commercial and charter traffic.

The airport is connected to central Belgrade primarily by bus (including the A1 express service) and taxi; a planned rail link has been discussed but not yet completed.
