Approximately between 2011 and 2012. The airfield ceased operations and was officially noted as permanently closed in aviation databases around this period.
The closure was primarily due to a combination of economic and land-use factors. As a small, private general aviation field, it likely faced challenges with operational costs and profitability. The decision was made to repurpose the valuable land for other uses, which ultimately proved to be renewable energy generation.
The site of the former airfield is now permanently closed to all aviation. A significant portion of the land, including areas overlapping the former runway and taxiways, has been developed into a large ground-mounted solar farm ('parco fotovoltaico'). The faint outline of the runway is still visible via satellite imagery but is in a state of complete disrepair and is physically obstructed by the solar panel installation.
Senigallia Nord was a private 'aviosuperficie' (a type of Italian airfield for light aircraft) that served the local general aviation (GA) community. It was operated by the local Aeroclub di Senigallia. Its primary function was to support recreational flying, flight training, and ultralight aircraft (ULM) operations. It featured a single asphalt runway (approximately 650 meters / 2,130 feet long) and was a local hub for aviation enthusiasts in the Marche region. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military traffic.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. The construction of the permanent solar farm infrastructure on the property makes its return to aviation use virtually impossible, as the land has been fundamentally and permanently repurposed.
