Slovenj Gradec Airport is a sports airfield located in the northeast of Slovenia. With its current infrastructure, it does not meet the requirements for military accommodation. However, with proper upgrades to the infrastructure, the runway, and the installation of a navigation system, the airport could become an important military strategic point. The analysis of the existing infrastructure showed that upgrading the airport would require
building a hangar, parking aprons with protective embankments, a control tower, and fuel storage infrastructure. It would also be necessary to upgrade the current taxiway, hangar, and storage facilities. To enable safe landings for heavier Slovenian military aircraft, the runway would need to be extended. Additionally, the best solution for improving navigation capabilities would be to implement PBN procedures for landing.
