Tromborn Airport

Cessation of private operations. Tromborn was a 'Base ULM' (a private airfield for ultralight aircraft). Such small airfields are often closed due to the owner's personal decision, the sale of the land, retirement, or economic factors making it no longer viable to maintain. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, regulatory action, or military conversion.

The airfield is permanently closed and has been completely returned to agricultural use. The former runway is now a cultivated field, often used for growing hay or other crops. The hangar building appears to still be standing but is likely used for farm storage. All aviation-specific markings and infrastructure have been removed, and the site is no longer recognizable as an airfield from the ground.

The site was a private ultralight (ULM) airfield, known locally as 'Base ULM de Tromborn', and used the French identifier LF5722. Its significance was not historical in a broad sense but was important to the local recreational flying community in the Moselle department. It featured a single grass runway, oriented roughly 07/25, with a length of approximately 450 meters (1475 feet), and at least one hangar for aircraft storage. Its operations were exclusively for private, recreational flights of ultralight aircraft and it never handled commercial or scheduled traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. Given that the land has been fully converted back to agriculture, its restoration as an airfield is extremely unlikely. Reopening would require the landowner's initiative, significant investment to recreate the runway and facilities, and a new, lengthy approval process with the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC).
