Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately 2008. The exact date of closure is not officially documented, but aviation databases and pilot communities noted its closure around this period. It is no longer listed in official Danish Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP).

Reason for Closure

The airfield was privately owned and operated. The closure was due to private reasons, most likely stemming from the owner's decision to cease operations. This is common for small, private airfields and can be related to the sale of the land, retirement of the owner, or the costs and liability associated with maintaining an active airstrip. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

Current Status

The site has fully reverted to agricultural land. Current satellite imagery shows the location as a large field. While a faint outline of the former north-south grass runway can still be discerned, the land is actively farmed and is not maintained or usable for any aviation purposes. There are no remaining signs of airport infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Ro Airport, known locally as 'Ro Flyveplads', was a small, private grass airstrip. Its significance was primarily local, serving the general aviation and ultralight aircraft community on the Danish island of Bornholm. It provided a simple, alternative landing site to the island's main commercial airport, Bornholm Airport (EKRN). Operations consisted of recreational flights by private pilots in small, single-engine aircraft and ultralights. It was a basic facility, likely consisting of just the turf runway without significant infrastructure like hangars or a terminal.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Ro Airport. Given that it was a private venture and the land has been fully integrated back into agricultural use for over a decade, a revival of the airfield is considered highly improbable.
