Špiro Mugoša Airport (Montenegrin: Aerodrom Špiro Mugoša), also known as Ćemovsko Polje Airport (Montenegrin: Aerodrom Ćemovsko Polje), is a general aviation airport, located in Ćemovsko polje, on the eastern edge of Podgorica urban area. During World War II, Podgorica airfield was used by the occupying Axis powers, making it a target for devastating Allied bombings in 1943 and 1944. It was a sole airfield serving Podgorica until Podgorica Airport was opened in 1961. Airport initially featured a single grass runway, while paved 800 m × 22 m (2,625 ft × 72 ft) runway was constructed in 1994. Aero Clubs Špiro Mugosa and Krila Podgorice are based at the airport, frequently hosting parachuting, gliding, and other air sports events.
