Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The airstrip was officially closed and removed from aeronautical databases around 2014. The exact date is not widely documented, but its operational end is consistently noted in the mid-2010s.

Reason for Closure

The primary reason for closure was related to land use and ownership. The lease for the land, which was used for the grass runway, expired and was not renewed by the landowner. Consequently, the land was returned to its original agricultural purpose, making aviation operations impossible.

Current Status

The site of the former airstrip has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that the area is now a cultivated field, with plow lines running across the former runway orientation. All visible traces of the runway and any associated airport infrastructure have been removed.

Historical Significance

Světlá nad Sázavou was a small, local airstrip (known in Czech as a 'plocha pro sportovní létající zařízení') primarily used for recreational and sport aviation. It was not a commercial or military airport. Its operations were centered around ultralight (UL) and microlight aircraft. The facility consisted of a simple grass runway (approximately 550 meters long) and minimal infrastructure, typical for a private or aeroclub field. Its significance was purely local, providing a base for private pilots and aviation enthusiasts in the Vysočina Region.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known official plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening the Světlá nad Sázavou Airstrip. Given that the land has been fully converted back to active farmland, the logistical, financial, and regulatory hurdles to re-establish an airport at this location are considered prohibitive. The local aviation community now utilizes other nearby airfields.
