Slovenia's primary military air base for the Slovenian Armed Forces.
Location
Cerklje ob Krki, Slovenia
Cerklje ob Krki Air Base is a military airfield located in the Brežice municipality of southeastern Slovenia, near the town of Cerklje ob Krki. It serves as one of the most important installations of the Slovenian Armed Forces and has historically hosted NATO exercises and allied aircraft operations.
The base operates under the Slovenian Air Force and Air Defence branch and has been used for transport, training, and tactical operations. It does not serve commercial passenger traffic and has no IATA designation, reflecting its exclusively military function.
Due to its strategic location near the Croatian border and its relatively modern runway infrastructure, the base has occasionally been considered for dual civilian-military use, though as of the available data it remains a dedicated military installation.
