Campo di Volo Ali Val di Neto

No single official reason has been published. The closure is most likely attributable to economic and organizational factors, which are common for small, club-operated airfields. These factors typically include declining membership in the operating association (A.S.D. Ali della Val di Neto), rising operational costs (maintenance, insurance), or the expiration/termination of the land lease. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.

The site is no longer an active airfield. The physical location is now primarily used for agriculture. Satellite imagery shows the former grass/dirt runway is heavily overgrown and has been partially plowed and integrated into the surrounding farmland. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible from the air, the surface is unmaintained and completely unsuitable for any aircraft operations. The few small buildings that may have served as a clubhouse or hangars appear to be in a state of disrepair or repurposed for agricultural storage.

Campo di Volo Ali Val di Neto was an 'aviosuperficie', a type of Italian airfield primarily for recreational and sport aviation. Its significance was local, serving as a key hub for the general aviation and ultralight (VDS - Volo da Diporto o Sportivo) community in the province of Crotone. It was operated by the local flying club 'Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Ali della Val di Neto'. The airfield hosted ultralight aircraft and light single-engine planes, providing a base for flight training, leisure flying, and social events for aviation enthusiasts in the Neto River Valley region.

There are currently no known or published plans to reopen the Ali Val di Neto airfield. Given that the land has been reclaimed for agricultural use and the original operating association appears to be defunct, any prospect of reopening would require a significant new investment, a new land-use agreement, and the formation of a new organization to manage it. As of now, its reopening is considered highly improbable.
