Trizac Airfield

The airfield was a private ULM platform (official French designation: LF1522). The closure was due to the cessation of activity by its private owner. This is a common reason for the closure of small, privately-owned airfields and is not linked to military conversion, a specific accident, or broader economic reasons that would affect a public airport. The owner likely sold the land or no longer wished to maintain it for aviation use.

The site of the former airfield has reverted to agricultural use. Satellite imagery clearly shows the land being used as a pasture or hayfield. While the faint, straight outline of the former runway is still visible from the air, it is no longer maintained or usable as an airstrip. There are no remaining aviation-specific buildings or infrastructure on the site.

Trizac Airfield's significance was primarily local and recreational. It was not a public airport but a private airstrip specifically authorized for ULM (Ultralight Motorized) aircraft. It served as a base for the owner and potentially a small number of local aviation enthusiasts in the rural Cantal department. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine ultralight aircraft for leisure flying. The facility consisted of a single grass runway, approximately 500-600 meters long, without significant infrastructure like terminals or large hangars.

There are no known official plans or public prospects for reopening Trizac Airfield. Since the land is privately owned and has been fully reintegrated into agricultural operations, a reopening is considered highly unlikely. It would require the current landowner to have an interest in aviation and be willing to go through the significant process of getting the site re-certified as a ULM platform by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC).
