Chazan Airfield

The closure was the result of a decision by the private owner of the land and airfield. This type of closure is common for small, privately-owned airfields and is not known to be linked to any specific accident, regulatory action, or external economic pressure.

The site is no longer a registered airfield. Official French maps (IGN) now label the location as 'Anc. Aérodrome' (Former Airfield). Satellite imagery confirms that the physical infrastructure, including the distinct grass runway strip and the hangar, remains intact. The land has reverted to private, non-aviation use, and appears to be maintained as an open mowed field. The site has not been redeveloped for industrial, residential, or agricultural purposes like crop farming.

Chazan Airfield was a private ultralight (ULM or Microlight) airfield, officially known as 'Plateforme ULM de Chambœuf - Chazan'. Its significance was entirely local, serving as a recreational base for the owner and likely a small number of associated ULM pilots in the Côte-d'Or region, south of Dijon. The facility consisted of a single grass runway, approximately 400 meters long and 30 meters wide (orientation 09/27), and at least one hangar. It exclusively handled private ultralight aircraft and was never used for commercial, military, or scheduled aviation operations.

There are no known plans or public prospects for reopening the airfield. Since its closure was a private decision, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on the landowner initiating the complex process of re-registering the site with France's Civil Aviation Authority (Direction générale de l'aviation civile - DGAC). Given the lack of any such initiative, the prospect of it returning to aviation use is considered highly unlikely.
