## Description

On the Ponikve plateau about 12 km north-west of Užice, Ponikve Airport (IATA: UZC, ICAO: LYUZ) serves western Serbia. The former military airfield has been prepared for civilian use but sees only limited general-aviation and occasional charter activity. The state operator Airports of Serbia has proposed a phased reconstruction that would let the runway handle types such as the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 757. No air cargo is handled at present; the nearest cargo alternative is Belgrade Nikola Tesla (BEG), around 120 km away.
