Campolara Airfield

The specific official reason for the closure is not publicly documented. However, the closure of small, private airfields like Campolara is commonly attributed to a combination of factors, including: economic non-viability (high costs of maintenance, insurance, and taxes), failure to comply with evolving and stricter regulatory requirements from AESA, or a decision by the private landowner to repurpose the land for other uses, such as agriculture.

The airfield is permanently closed and in a state of abandonment. Current satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the runway, but it is unmaintained, significantly overgrown with vegetation, and blending back into the surrounding agricultural landscape. The associated buildings, likely small hangars, may still be standing but are unused for aviation purposes. The site is private property and is not accessible or used for any form of aviation.

Campolara Airfield was a private aerodrome dedicated to general aviation, with a specific focus on ultralight aircraft (ULM - Ultraligero Motorizado). Its significance was local, serving as a base for recreational pilots and a local flying club in the Segovia province. Operations consisted of recreational flights and potentially ULM flight training. The facility was modest, featuring a single unpaved dirt/grass runway (approximately 550 meters long) and a few small buildings or hangars. It never handled commercial, cargo, or military traffic.

There are no known or published plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening Campolara Airfield. Re-establishing a closed aerodrome requires a complex and costly re-certification process with Spanish aviation authorities (AESA). Given the lack of any reported interest and the typical reasons for its initial closure, the likelihood of it ever reopening as an airfield is extremely low to non-existent.
