Kortemark Heliport

The heliport was a private facility. While the specific reason for closure is not public, the most likely cause is a change in the owner's business needs, rendering the facility obsolete or no longer cost-effective. This is common for private corporate heliports and can be due to factors like the sale of the company helicopter, changes in executive travel patterns, or the high cost of maintenance and regulatory compliance. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to an accident or military conversion.

The physical infrastructure of the heliport, including the painted 'H' landing marking, remains visible on the rooftop of the Deba NV building at Staatsbaan 25, 8610 Kortemark. However, the facility is officially and permanently closed to all air traffic. The site itself continues to function as the active headquarters for the Deba Group.

Kortemark Heliport (BE-0073) was a private rooftop heliport located at the headquarters of Deba NV, a prominent Belgian company specializing in medium voltage electrical solutions. Its primary purpose was to facilitate corporate transport for the company's executives and key personnel, providing rapid access to business meetings, project sites, or other transport hubs. The heliport was exclusively for private use and did not handle commercial, public, or emergency medical service operations. Its existence was a testament to the company's operational capacity and logistical planning during its active period.

There are no known public plans, discussions, or prospects for the reopening of the Kortemark Heliport. As a private facility, any potential reactivation would be entirely dependent on the business strategy and discretion of the owner, Deba NV. It is currently considered permanently closed for aviation purposes.
