CdV "38 N Fly Zone"

While not officially stated, the closure is characteristic of small, privately-operated airfields in Italy. The most probable reasons are economic and operational. These likely include financial non-viability, insufficient revenue from club members to cover maintenance and insurance costs, the dissolution of the managing association ('Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica 38 N Fly Zone'), or increasing regulatory complexities for private airfields. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a major accident, environmental issues, or land conversion for military or industrial purposes.

The site is completely abandoned and non-operational. Current satellite imagery confirms that the former runway is entirely overgrown with shrubs and grass, making it indistinguishable from the surrounding fields and completely unusable for any aviation activity. The few small structures on the site appear to be derelict. The land has not been repurposed for agriculture, construction, or any other use and is slowly reverting to its natural state.

CdV '38 N Fly Zone' was an 'aviosuperficie', a type of airfield in Italy primarily designated for recreational, sporting, and general aviation activities. It was a key site for the local ultralight (ULM) and private pilot community in the Reggio Calabria province. Its primary operations included:
- Recreational flights for members of the '38 N Fly Zone' association.
- Flight training for ultralight aircraft.
- Serving as a base for scenic tourist flights along the picturesque Costa dei Gelsomini (Jasmine Coast) on the Ionian Sea and over the rugged terrain of the Aspromonte National Park.
The airfield consisted of a single unpaved (grass/dirt) runway, oriented roughly 11/29, with a length of approximately 600 meters, and minimal infrastructure such as a small clubhouse or hangar.

There are currently no known or published plans to refurbish or reopen the '38 N Fly Zone' airfield. Given its advanced state of disrepair, the significant investment required for restoration, and the likely persistence of the economic factors that led to its initial closure, the prospects for its reopening are considered to be nonexistent. The local aviation community now uses other operational airfields in the region.
