Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately 2016-2017. The airfield was listed as active in Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) documents in 2015 but appears on the official list of closed airfields ('Elenco aviosuperfici/campi di volo non più utilizzabili') by 2017. Pilot forum discussions from 2016 also mention its impending closure.

Reason for Closure

The closure was the result of a private decision by the owner/operator. This is a common fate for small, privately-run airfields ('campo di volo') in Italy. The reasons were likely personal or economic, such as the owner's retirement or the unprofitability of maintaining the facility. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a major accident, military conversion, or regulatory action by aviation authorities.

Current Status

The site is no longer operational as an airfield. Analysis of recent satellite imagery shows that the grass runway is no longer maintained and has been reclaimed for agricultural use, blending in with the surrounding farmland. The distinct outline of the runway is no longer visible. While the hangar building may still be standing, it is likely used for private storage or agricultural purposes. The location is officially and permanently closed to all air traffic.

Historical Significance

Campo Volo Angela e Sara was a small, private airfield serving the general aviation community. Its primary function was to support recreational flying, specifically for ultralight aircraft (known in Italy as VDS - Volo da Diporto o Sportivo). It consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 600 meters long) and basic facilities, including a small hangar. Its significance was purely local, acting as a hub for private pilots and flight enthusiasts in the eastern part of the Province of Turin, rather than having any commercial, transport, or military role.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or publicly reported plans to reopen the airfield. Since its closure was a private decision and the land appears to have been repurposed for agriculture, reopening would require a significant private investment to purchase the land, re-establish the runway, and complete the complex certification process with ENAC. The likelihood of this happening is considered extremely low.
