Circa 2012-2015. The exact date is not officially recorded. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a clearly defined and maintained grass runway in 2012. By 2016, the entire area had been plowed and converted into a cultivated agricultural field, indicating the closure occurred within that timeframe.
The specific reason is not publicly documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, the complete conversion of the site back into farmland strongly suggests the closure was a private decision by the landowner. This was likely for economic reasons, such as the land being more valuable for agriculture, or the owner ceasing aviation activities due to retirement or selling the property.
The airport is permanently closed and has been completely decommissioned. The site at coordinates 43.876384, 0.983774 is now fully integrated into the surrounding farmland and is used for crop cultivation. There are no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or aviation-specific buildings like hangars or windsocks.
Beaumont de Lomagne was a small, private airfield, also known by the French ULM (ultralight) identifier LF8251. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for recreational flying. It consisted of a single grass runway approximately 600-700 meters long. Operations were limited to ultralight aircraft and possibly other light general aviation planes. It was never a commercial airport with scheduled traffic or a military base; it was a typical example of the numerous private airstrips that support the general aviation and ultralight community in rural France.
There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the Beaumont de Lomagne airfield. As the land has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes, re-establishing an airport would require a new initiative, significant investment, and the agreement of the current landowner. It is considered highly unlikely to be reopened.
