Approximately between 2012 and 2015. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the runway was distinct and appeared operational until at least 2011-2012. By 2016, the land was clearly being cultivated for agriculture, with plow lines crossing the former runway area.
Cessation of private operations and conversion of the land back to agricultural use. As a small, private airfield (aerĂłdromo), it was likely owned and operated by an individual or a small group. The closure was not due to military conversion or a major reported incident, but rather the termination of aviation activities, leading to the land being repurposed for farming, which is the primary use of the surrounding area.
The site is currently used as agricultural land. Satellite imagery confirms that the former runway has been completely removed and the area is now a cultivated field, fully integrated with the surrounding farmland. There are no remaining hangars, markings, or any other visible aviation infrastructure at the coordinates.
The Berbinzana airfield was a small, private aerodrome with a single unpaved (dirt or grass) runway. It did not have major historical significance in the context of national or commercial aviation. Its operations were limited to general aviation, primarily serving recreational flying, ultralight aircraft, and potentially agricultural aviation (crop dusting) for the local region in Navarre. The identifier ES-0038 is an unofficial code used in third-party aviation databases and not an official ICAO code assigned by Spain, which is typical for small, private strips of this nature.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Berbinzana airfield. The complete conversion of the site back to agricultural use makes a future reopening highly unlikely, as it would require significant effort to purchase the land and reconstruct the runway and any necessary facilities.
