Later it developed into a notable parachuting training center and was host to and its runway was asphalted, with length increased to 1,400 m. Niksic Airport (LYNK) also known as Kapino Polje has had some improvements since the last notable event the 2010 FAI World Parachuting Championships. Prior to the Championships there have been reconstruction and construction works on the airport fence and on the hangar and its annex as well as the expansion of the runway and taxiway surface.

Now in summer of 2014 further improvements have been planed and in August the first stage of the modular development of the tower - the cabin. The first phase includes the prefabrication of the cabin and will be used for accommodation of a flight manager. He will be providing NIKSIC INFO for active ATZ Kapino Polje. The modular development is of significant meaning to the airport tower as it allows the administration to expand the tower according to the needs and the development of air traffic in the future. The next improvements that have been planned are for signalisation and will be implemented as soon as possible so that the potential of Niksic Airport (LYNK) to become an international airport can soon be realised.
