Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Not applicable. The designation 'closed' in public aviation databases signifies that the helipad is not open for public or civilian use, not that it has ceased operations. It has been a private, military facility since its inception.

Reason for Closure

Military Status. The helipad is located within an active military installation (Güneşköy Barracks) and has never been available for public, commercial, or civil aviation. Its 'closed' status in unofficial records refers to its unavailability for general aviation traffic.

Current Status

The site is an active and fully operational military helipad. Satellite imagery confirms it is well-maintained and located within the secure perimeter of the Güneşköy military barracks. The base and its helipad continue to serve the strategic needs of the military forces stationed there.

Historical Significance

The Güneşköy helipad is part of the military infrastructure established in Northern Cyprus following the events of 1974. It serves the Güneşköy Kışlası (Güneşköy Barracks), a significant military base for either the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) stationed in Cyprus or the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) Security Forces Command (GKK). Its historical and ongoing operations are exclusively military in nature, including logistical support, troop movement, VIP transport, medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), and reconnaissance flights in the region. The identifier 'CY-0025' is a non-official code used by some aviation data aggregators to list the location, not an official ICAO designation.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero prospects for this helipad to 'reopen' as a public or civilian facility. Its future is entirely dependent on the military's operational requirements and the broader political situation in Cyprus. It will remain a restricted, active military site for the foreseeable future.
