Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is not officially documented, as is common for small private airfields. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airfield was active and maintained until at least 2012. By 2017, the runway shows signs of disuse, and by 2020, it is significantly overgrown. Therefore, the closure most likely occurred between 2015 and 2018.

Reason for Closure

There is no official stated reason for the closure. Airfields of this type are typically private and operated by an individual or a small club. The closure was likely due to private circumstances, such as the owner's retirement, sale of the property, loss of interest, or the economic unsustainability of maintaining a private airstrip. The gradual reclaiming of the runway by nature, as seen in satellite photos, suggests a cessation of activity rather than a closure forced by a specific event like an accident or regulatory action.

Current Status

The site is no longer an active airfield. The former grass runway is no longer maintained and has been returned to agricultural use, blending in with the surrounding fields. The faint outline of the strip is still visible on satellite imagery, but it is completely unusable for aviation. The land is part of a private farm property in Boissey.

Historical Significance

ZTN Air ULM was a private airfield dedicated to ULM (Ultra-Léger Motorisé), or ultralight aircraft. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for recreational pilots in the Normandy region. It was not a commercial or military airport and handled no scheduled flights. Operations would have consisted of private leisure flying, and potentially ULM flight training, for a small community of aviation enthusiasts. It was registered with the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) under the identifier FR-0388 and was also known by the local French ULM federation (FFPLUM) identifier LF1454.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. As the land has reverted to private agricultural use, re-establishing it as an active airfield would require significant investment, effort, and a new certification process with French aviation authorities. Reopening is considered highly improbable.
