Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately 2013-2014. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the grass runway was still clearly visible in 2011 but shows distinct signs of being plowed over and converted to farmland by 2014. Czech aviation forums confirm its closure around this period.

Reason for Closure

The primary reason for closure was the conversion of the land back to agricultural use. This is a common fate for small, privately-owned grass airstrips, likely resulting from a change in land ownership, a decision by the operator to cease activities, or the expiration of a land lease. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to a major accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

Current Status

The site of the former airstrip has been fully reclaimed for agriculture and is now an active farm field. Current satellite imagery shows the land is regularly plowed and cultivated as part of the surrounding farmland. All aviation-related infrastructure, such as any potential small hangars, windsocks, or runway markers, has been removed. A very faint outline of the former runway can sometimes be discerned from the air due to soil compaction, but it is not visible from the ground.

Historical Significance

Hubíles Airstrip was a registered ultralight (UL) airfield, officially designated in Czech as a 'UL plocha' (UL area/strip). Its primary function was to support the local general and sport aviation community in the Hradec Králové region. Operations were focused on recreational flying of ultralight aircraft, and it likely served as a base for private owners and potentially some flight training. As a simple grass strip with minimal facilities, its significance was local rather than national, contributing to the network of small airfields vital for sport aviation in the Czech Republic.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen Hubíles Airstrip. Given that the land has been in continuous agricultural use for nearly a decade, re-establishing an airfield would be a significant undertaking requiring the acquisition of land rights and substantial investment to restore the runway and facilities. The prospect of reopening is considered extremely low.
