[edit] Service
On July 23rd, 2007 the Bitola region was struck by wild forest fires. Logovardi Airport was used as base from which fire fighting aircrafts worked to help extinguish the fires.
The airport grounds are also used by aero club Mirko Todorovski which used to host an air show in May each year. The air show was a big spectacle in the 70's and 80's but came to a halt after the break up of Yugoslavia. For the first time after 20 years of inactivity, on May 24th 2008, Logovardi Airport was used once again to gather air enthusiast from across Macedonia. According to official Municipality Bitola website, www.bitola.gov.mk, the air show will once again become an annual tradition. [2]
