Airport City is located in New Belgrade's Block 65, in the area previously known as Dojno Polje. To the east and northeast it borders the neighborhoods of Bežanija and Bežanijska Kosa. The Tošin Bunar Street marks the east border of the neighborhood, Omladinskih Brigada the northeast and Djordja Stojanovića the south. On the north there are other facilities in the Block 65, including the residential complex West 65 and the headquarters of the N1 Television. Southwest from Airport City is the vast, former industrial complex, which includes the factories like the Industry of Machinery and Tractors and the Industry of Metal Castings. In the vicinity, in the southeast direction are the neighborhood of Belville and the Delta City shopping mall.[1][2]
West of Bežanija and 2 km (1.2 mi) south of Zemun, between the village and the Sava River, is the location of the old Belgrade airport, which was finished in March 1927. The locality was called Dojno Polje.[3] Because it is located along Tošin Bunar Street, although administratively part of the village of Bežanija at the time, the airport is often referred to as both the Bežanija Airport and Airport on Tošin Bunar. Construction of an airfield began in 1923. An initiative asked for the creation of the airline company in 1926, which was approved by the government on 23 March 1926. Then the initial public offering began but largely failed as only 10% of the planned amount was gathered. According to the existing laws, the airline company was to be closed even before it was officially formed. In order to boost the sale of the shares, pilot Tadija Sondermajer decided to conduct the promotional flight Paris-Bombay-Belgrade. With his colleague Leonid Bajdak [sr], he started the journey on 20 April 1927 from Paris, arriving back in Belgrade after 11 days and 14,800 km (9,200 mi), on 8 May. They were awaited as heroes by the crowd of 30,000. The sale of the shares was boosted and in three months there were sufficient funds for the company, named Aeroput and established on 17 June 1927, to purchase its first four airplanes.[4]
A pre-war Royal Yugoslav AF base and civil airport serving the Belgrade area, Belgrad-Semlin (a.k.a. Zemun, Fliegerhorst Belgrade-Zemun) Airfield was adjacent to the Ikarus aircraft factory that produced parts for the Bf 109 and Bf 110 and employed 1,500 workers during the war, as well as the Rogožarski aircraft factory. Main refueling stopover for aircraft flying back and forth to Greece as well as being an important repair and maintenance hub for the Sdost (Southeast) region. The Luftwaffe had an instrument flying school here for more than two years and fighters and bombers were based here for short periods, primarily to fly support for anti-partisan operations.
New administrative building was constructed in 1931 and to celebrate the occasion, a big air show of the biplanes was held.[3] It was destroyed by the Germans in 1944, and became defunct in 1962 when the new airport near the village of Surčin was finished (today's Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport). In April 2016 works began on the construction of the access road to the Ada Bridge. During works on the new boulevard, remnants of the old airport's runway, hangars and warehouses were discovered.[5]
The project is often called "city within a city", spreading over an area of 14 ha (35 acres). It is the first multi-use commercial facility in Serbia that merges the latest in building technology, together with a tenant-focused approach.[8] Complex consist of six 6-storey, one 10-storey, two 11-storey buildings. The last phase, which started in 2017 will have new 11-, 14- and two 23-storey buildings.
Mercedes-Benz, DHL, Siemens and other companies are located close to ACB in Novi Beograd, which is an emerging Central Business District. The buildings are located near (900 meters from) the Euro-Motorway E-75. Several lines of transportation are planned for day-and-night travel. Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is ten minutes away by car.
Airport City (also known as an Aerotropolis)[1] is an model for urban development that focus on improving the livability of the areas within and immediately surrounding the airport in support of a variety of economic activities.[2] An Airport City is differentiated from a "city airport" by its design, which includes both the inside and outside areas. It offers most of the amenities found in a typical urban center.[3]
The airport city concept consists of several elements that reinforce each other. Services and facilities are designed to guide travelers through the airport transit process. The design of an airport city includes considering passengers, cargo, businesses, workers, and residents of the area.
The most common air side and land side airport city commercial activities include duty-free shops and airline lounges; restaurants, catering, and other food services; specialty retail and factory outlet centers; cultural and entertainment attractions; hotels; banks and currency exchanges; business offices and complexes; convention and exhibition centers; leisure, recreation and fitness venues; logistics and distribution; perishables and cold storage; and free trade zones and customs-free zones.[11]
Airport cities may be found at major airports worldwide, particularly in Europe. Some older airports are being redeveloped or expanded on large tracts of unused airport land. Some new airports in Asia are also being planned as airport cities. North America, South America, and Africa all have airport cities and Aerotropolis developments.
A qualitative list of airport city characteristics has been developed by researchers at the Center for Air Commerce at the Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[12]

The DEN Strategic Development Plan creates a roadmap for transforming non-aviation airport land into a series of vibrant development districts that serve local, national, and global commercial and institutional purposes. The East Approach district [pictured above] connects directly to the airport terminal and the recently-opened Westin hotel and conference center
For those in transit, at 65 mph, the unobstructed landscape will focus on geographic features viewed from a distance. At slower speeds of 40 mph, for entry and exit of the airport, transitional landscapes will display artful interpretations of utilitarian landscape elements to highlight local heritage. For those transitioning into immersive landscapes on foot, interactive elements like installations and exhibits will encourage lingering, interaction, and education. Lastly, the aerial landscape viewed at takeoff and landing will feature seasonal changes and crop rotations to yield dynamic expressions of the changing regional landscape.
