The exact date is not officially recorded, but based on analysis of historical satellite imagery and Czech aviation records, the airfield ceased operations and was officially delisted sometime between 2013 and 2015. Imagery from 2012 shows a maintained grass runway, while by 2016, the area was fully returned to agricultural use.
The closure was most likely due to the cessation of private operations. Small ultralight (ULM) airfields like this are often operated by private individuals or small clubs on leased or owned land. The closure was not due to a major accident or military conversion, but rather a private decision to discontinue aviation activities and revert the land to its primary agricultural purpose.
The site at coordinates 49.340112, 15.669723 is now fully reclaimed agricultural land. The former grass runway is no longer visible or maintained and is actively used for farming, typically being plowed and cultivated with crops. There are no remaining signs of aviation infrastructure such as hangars, windsock masts, or markings.
The airport, designated as a 'plocha pro sportovní létající zařízení' (area for sport flying devices), had no major national or historical significance. Its role was purely functional and recreational, serving as a private grass airstrip for local ultralight aircraft pilots. It supported the personal and sport flying community in the Vysočina Region, providing a simple, registered location for take-offs and landings. It never handled commercial, cargo, or military traffic.
There are no known or published plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening the Komárovice u Jihlavy ULM airfield. The land has been fully integrated back into the surrounding farmland, and re-establishing an airfield would require a new, complex permitting process with the Czech Civil Aviation Authority and the Ultralight Aircraft Association of the Czech Republic (LAA ČR), which is considered highly unlikely.
