Košice Airfield

The closure was due to administrative and operational reasons. The local entity or aeroclub responsible for operating the airfield ceased its activities. This led to the termination of the land lease or the inability to meet the ongoing financial and regulatory requirements for maintaining an official airfield status, resulting in its removal from the national registry.

The site is permanently closed to all air traffic. Recent satellite imagery shows that the physical layout of the grass runway (oriented roughly 14/32) is still visible. However, the land has reverted to agricultural use, with the runway strip now appearing to be a mowed hay meadow. A building that likely served as a small hangar remains on the property, though its current function is likely for agricultural storage. The site is private property and not accessible for aviation purposes.

Košice Airfield was a small, local grass airfield that served the general aviation community in the Tábor District of the South Bohemian Region. It was not a major airport but an important local hub for recreational flying. Its primary function was as an 'area for sport flying devices' (Plocha pro SLZ), meaning it catered almost exclusively to ultralight aircraft. Operations included recreational flights by local pilots, basic flight training for ultralights, and social events for the local aviation community. It played a role in fostering the Czech Republic's active sport aviation culture at a grassroots level.

There are no known official plans, proposals, or public discussions regarding the reopening of Košice Airfield. The process to recertify a closed airfield is legally complex and financially demanding, requiring a new operator, new land use agreements, and full compliance with current Czech and EASA aviation standards. Given these challenges, the prospects for its reopening are considered to be nonexistent.
