Airbase and adjacent Podgorica Airport share a common runway and various support facilities.

In addition to the airbase proper and adjacent apron, military facilities included Šipčanik complex - underground aircraft shelter tunneled into the eponymous hill, as well as 6-kilometer-long (20,000 ft) taxiway, connecting the complex to main runway.

In an emergency, jets stored in the shelter could scramble using the wider, northern section of the taxiway.

As Montenegro Air Force does not operate fixed wing aircraft, entire Šipčanik complex was decommissioned and converted to civilian use in early 2000s.

G-4 Super Galeb aircraft used by Leteće zvezde aerobatic team were destroyed on the airbase premises during the strikes.
