Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Serbia, serving as the main international gateway to the country and the wider Western Balkans region. Located approximately 18 kilometres west of Belgrade city centre near the suburb of Surčin, it handles the majority of Serbia's commercial air traffic.
