Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The heliport ceased operations around late 2001 to early 2002. This is based on the official dissolution date of its operating company, 'Travaux Aériens Bouquemont', which was legally struck off the business registry on December 28, 2001.

Reason for Closure

The closure was a direct result of the cessation of business by its owner and operator, the company 'Travaux Aériens Bouquemont'. This was an economic decision, likely influenced by changing market conditions and stricter regulations regarding agricultural aerial spraying in France, which was the heliport's primary purpose.

Current Status

The site has fully reverted to agricultural use and is integrated into the 'Ferme de Bouquemont' (Bouquemont Farm). Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows no remaining signs of an active heliport. The former landing and takeoff area is now an open, grassy field, and the building that likely served as a hangar has been repurposed for general farm storage for vehicles and equipment. The land is actively cultivated.

Historical Significance

Travaux Aeriens Bouquemont Heliport was a private-use facility that served as the operational base for its namesake company. Its main function was to support agricultural aviation services in the fertile Marne region. Helicopters operating from this site performed critical aerial work ('travaux aériens'), primarily crop dusting and the application of pesticides and fertilizers on the surrounding farmlands. It represented a class of small, specialized airfields vital to local agricultural economies during the latter half of the 20th century, before such practices declined.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The original operating company was dissolved over two decades ago, the ICAO identifier FR-0074 is decommissioned, and the land is part of a private, active farm. Re-establishing an aviation facility at this location is considered highly improbable.
