It was placed under the control of United Nations Protection Forces in 1992, and from 1996 onwards it became the main hub for the Stabilization Forces (SFOR), which brought peace to Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1998, the canton of Tuzla turned Tuzla International to a civil airport. Tuzla International opened on 10 October 1998 as a civilian airport and military airfield.
