Sa Sabina Heliport

Replacement by a modern, permanent facility. This site was a provisional, unpaved emergency landing zone. It became redundant upon the inauguration of the permanent, purpose-built heliport at the new Hospital de Formentera (ICAO: LEFO) in 2007. The new facility offered superior safety, lighting, and direct access to medical services.

The site has reverted to its natural state. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows an undeveloped, open area of scrubland and dirt tracks. It is located within the boundaries of the Parc Natural de ses Salines d'Eivissa i Formentera, a protected natural park. There are no visible remains of any aviation infrastructure. The ICAO code 'ES-0363' is not an official designation by the Spanish aviation authority (ENAIRE) and appears to be an identifier used in non-official, third-party databases, likely referring to this former provisional site.

The 'Sa Sabina Heliport' was not a formally chartered airport but rather a designated provisional landing zone for emergency services. Its primary and sole function was to support Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) operations for medical evacuations from Formentera to hospitals in Ibiza or Mallorca, as well as for use by the Guardia Civil. Given Formentera's lack of an airport, this basic landing area was a critical, life-saving piece of infrastructure for the isolated island community before the permanent hospital heliport was constructed. It handled no commercial, private, or scheduled traffic.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening this site as a heliport. The island's emergency helicopter needs are fully and more effectively met by the modern, certified Hospital de Formentera Heliport (LEFO). Furthermore, its location within a protected natural park makes any future development for aviation purposes virtually impossible due to strict environmental regulations.
