Aeródromo de Sangüesa

The closure was primarily due to the cessation of activities by the local ultralight (ULM) flying club that operated the field. This is a common fate for small, private airfields and is typically driven by a combination of factors such as declining membership, insufficient funding to maintain the facilities and pay for land lease, and potential regulatory pressures. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to the closure.

The airfield is permanently closed and abandoned. Recent satellite imagery clearly shows the runway marked with large, painted 'X's at its thresholds, the universal signal for a closed runway. The runway surface is heavily degraded and appears to be used as a simple access road for the surrounding agricultural plots. The land has largely reverted to agricultural use, and any remaining buildings, likely former hangars, appear derelict or are used for farm storage.

Aeródromo de Sangüesa was a small, private airfield dedicated to recreational aviation, specifically for ultralight (ULM) aircraft. Its significance was purely local, serving as a hub for enthusiasts and a training ground for new pilots in the Sangüesa region of Navarra. It featured a single, unpaved or poorly-paved runway approximately 550 meters in length and basic hangar facilities. It never handled commercial, cargo, or significant military operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Aeródromo de Sangüesa. The significant deterioration of the infrastructure would require substantial investment to restore it to a safe and certifiable condition. Furthermore, the local demand for general and ultralight aviation is adequately served by other active airfields in the region, such as the nearby Aeródromo de Lumbier (LELU), making a business case for reopening highly unlikely.
