Gyomai Airfield

Primarily economic reasons. Like many small airfields in Hungary, Gyomai likely became financially unviable. Its main purpose was agricultural aviation, a sector that saw a significant decline after the privatization of state-sponsored services. With insufficient traffic from general aviation to sustain operations, the valuable land was repurposed for its original agricultural use, which provided a more reliable economic return for the owner.

The airfield is permanently closed and no longer exists in an operational capacity. The land that once formed the runway and taxiways has been fully converted back into active agricultural farmland and is cultivated annually. The original small airport buildings (hangars/sheds) appear to remain on the edge of the property, likely repurposed for farm equipment storage.

Gyomai Airfield was a local, non-public airfield (nem nyilvános fel- és leszállóhely) whose significance was tied to the region's agricultural economy. Its primary function was to serve as a base for agricultural aircraft (e.g., An-2, Z-37 Čmelák) for crop dusting, spraying, and fertilizing operations across the Great Hungarian Plain. It may have also been used by local sport pilots and general aviation enthusiasts. The airfield consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 600m) and basic support buildings. It never had scheduled commercial passenger services or significant military importance.

There are no known or published plans to reopen Gyomai Airfield. Given that the land has been fully reintegrated into agricultural production and the economic factors for small airfields in the region have not improved, the prospect of reopening is considered extremely low to non-existent.
