English: Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Serbian: Аеродром Београд - Никола Тесла or Aerodrom Beograd - Nikola Tesla) (IATA: BEG, ICAO: LYBE) is Serbia's busiest airport, also known as Surčin (Сурчин), after a nearby Belgrade suburb.[1] Named for Nikola Tesla, the airport is situated 12 km (7 mi) west of central Belgrade, in the Municipality of Surčin, surrounded by Vojvodina's fertile lowlands. Passengers on the right hand side of the planes descending from the east have a spectacular view of downtown Belgrade, especially the districts of Čukarica and Novi Beograd. Weather seldom diverts aircraft, however, when landing in Belgrade is unsafe, the planes are diverted to Niš Constantine the Great International Airport, which is 230 km (143 mi) southward. National flag carrier Jat Airways uses Belgrade Nikola Tesla as their hub airport. VIP airlines Air Pink, Jat Airways AVIO taxi and Prince Aviation also call the airport their home.
