Morava Airport (Serbian: Аеродром Морава / Aerodrom Morava) (IATA: KVO, ICAO: LYKV), also known as Lađevci Airport (Аеродром Лађевци / Aerodrom Lađevci), is a joint civilian–military airport in Lađevci, Serbia – some 15 km (9.3 mi) from Kraljevo, 25 km (16 mi) from Čačak, and 39 km (24 mi) from Kragujevac. It is the smallest passenger airport in Serbia.
The military part of the airport, known as the Lađevci Airbase and operated by the Serbian Air Force and Air Defence, is the older of the two sections, having been built in 1967. It became more active in 1992 and now hosts many units of the 98th Air Brigade.
The civilian terminal opened in 2019 after a long effort to ready the airport for international flights, and is operated by state-owned company Airports of Serbia under the name "Morava Airport", after the nearby West Morava river. Air Serbia flies to Istanbul year-round and Thessaloniki and Tivat seasonally under a PSO (public service obligation) contract. It has been praised by government officials as an important transport link, but also criticised for perceived underperformance and inefficiencies.
