On July 4th, 1965, the airport was first opened for Jat Airways, then known as JAT Yugoslav Airlines, to transport passengers between Belgrade and Vrnjačka Banja with a Convair CV-440 Metropolitan[1].

In 2007 the Vrnjačka Banja resort and the Trstenik airport requested approval for opening the airport to the public. The government will most likely accept the proposal.
