Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not officially documented. However, based on pilot forum discussions and historical satellite imagery, the airfield was active in the early 2010s but appears to have fallen into disuse by the mid-to-late 2010s. Recent imagery confirms its abandoned state.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for closure is not public information, which is common for small, privately-owned airfields. The closure was most likely due to a combination of factors typical for such facilities: economic non-viability (high costs of maintenance, insurance, and taxes relative to usage), the owner ceasing the activity, or failure to comply with evolving regulatory requirements from Spain's State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA). There is no evidence it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.

Current Status

The site is currently abandoned and non-operational. Satellite imagery shows the clear outline of a single dirt runway in the middle of agricultural land. The runway is unmaintained, becoming overgrown with vegetation, and is crossed by what appear to be farm vehicle tracks. There are no buildings, hangars, or any remaining infrastructure on the site. The land has effectively reverted to agricultural use.

Historical Significance

Plenas Airfield's significance was purely local and recreational. It operated as a private airfield for ultralight aircraft (known in Spain as ULM - Ultraligero). It served as a base and destination for local general aviation enthusiasts in the province of Zaragoza. It had no commercial, military, or significant historical role and primarily handled a small volume of private, recreational flights. The ICAO code 'ES-0322' is a national identifier for small aerodromes, not an official international ICAO code.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen Plenas Airfield. Re-establishing a private airfield requires significant private investment to restore the runway, secure the land, and meet all current safety and administrative regulations from AESA. Given its remote location and the likely high costs, the prospect of it reopening is considered highly unlikely.
