About Jagodina / Barutana Airfield

Jagodina Airport is situated in the close vicinity of Jagodina, Serbia about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi), northwest of town centre.

It is used for sports and flight training for gliders and powered airplanes, as well as for skydiving.

The grass runway with length of 660 m (2,170 ft) and width of 60 m (200 ft) is used by ultralight, sport, business and agricultural aircraft weighing up to 5.7 tons. During 2012, the town of Jagodina invested about 3 million dinars from the city budget and donors in renovation of the airport.

With decision of the Directorate of Civil Aviation, from 8 March 2012, Jagodina was officially given sport airport, the second of its kind in the Pomoravlje District, next to Paraćin-Davidovac Airport.

After 60 years, Jagodina officially got the Barutana airfield at the Štiplje road, and now skydivers and pilots from the Aero Club Jagodina have their own airport.

The renovation and reconstruction of the airport in 2012 was the largest investment since it was established in 1938. The work included relocation of the 500 meters (1,600 ft) of power lines, which was a condition for obtaining a license, as well as construction of the road and parking lot, and installation of the lighting from the main road to the hangar. The project also included the acquisition of the fuel tank, now owned by the Aero Club.
