Not Applicable. The identifier 'CY-0050' is not an official ICAO code, and 'Gülseren Barracks Lakeside Heliport' was never a publicly registered or civilian airport. The concept of a formal 'closure date' does not apply.
Not Applicable. The site has always been part of an active military installation. It was never a public or commercial facility that was later closed for reasons like economic failure or conversion. Its use is, and has been, exclusively military and is restricted.
The site is an active and restricted military area. It is part of the Gülseren Barracks, operated by the Turkish Armed Forces. The area identified by the coordinates is used as a helicopter landing pad and for other military purposes such as drills and vehicle parking. Access is strictly forbidden to the public.
The location corresponds to the Gülseren Barracks (Gülseren Kışlası), a military base of the Turkish Security Forces Command in Northern Cyprus, established after 1974. The open, paved area by the lake serves as a helicopter landing zone (heliport) for military operations. Its significance is purely strategic and military, used for transport, medical evacuation, and logistical support for the troops stationed there. It has no history of civilian, commercial, or scheduled flight operations.
There are zero plans or prospects for this site to 'reopen' as a public or civilian airport. It is an integral part of an active military base on politically sensitive territory, and its status is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.
