Approximately 2012. The airport was listed as operational in Czech aviation databases until the early 2010s. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the clear outline of the grass runway in 2011, but by 2013, construction of a solar park on the site was well underway.
Economic / Land Repurposing. The primary reason for the airport's closure was the sale and redevelopment of the land. The site was chosen for the construction of a large-scale photovoltaic power plant, which was built directly over the former runway and airfield area.
The site is now fully occupied by the FVE Zvole photovoltaic power plant, a large solar farm. The former runway and any associated airport infrastructure have been completely removed and replaced with thousands of solar panels and related energy generation equipment. The location is no longer recognizable as an airfield.
Zvole West Airport (known locally as 'Letiště Zvole západ') was a private ultralight (ULL) airfield. It held no major military or commercial significance. Its purpose was purely for sport and recreational aviation, serving local pilots and ultralight aircraft enthusiasts. It consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 500 meters long) and likely had minimal facilities, typical of a small, private flying club or field. Its ICAO code, CZ-0049, designates it within the Czech national system for ultralight airfields.
Zero. The land has been permanently and fundamentally repurposed for industrial-scale energy generation. The significant investment in the solar park and its ongoing operation make the prospect of removing it to re-establish a small private airfield economically and logistically infeasible.
