Circa 2012-2013. While the exact date of the last flight is unknown, official records from the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) show its status as revoked or cancelled around this period. Pilot forums and online aviation databases began listing it as closed during this time.
Economic and regulatory reasons. Arcora was a small, privately-owned airfield. Like many similar facilities in Italy, it likely ceased operations due to the high costs of maintenance, insurance, and compliance with evolving aviation regulations, which made it financially unsustainable for the private owner. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to its closure.
The airfield is abandoned. Satellite imagery confirms that the paved runway and some adjacent structures (likely former hangars or service buildings) are still physically present. However, the infrastructure is in a state of significant disrepair. The runway surface is cracked, weathered, and has vegetation growing through it, making it unusable for aircraft. The site is not actively used for any other major purpose and appears to be simply disused land within an agricultural area.
Arcora Flying Field was an 'aviosuperficie', a category of small airfield in Italy designated for general aviation, recreational flying, and flight training. Its primary function was to serve private pilots, particularly those flying ultralight aircraft (ULM). It acted as a local hub for the aviation community in the Molise region and supported tourism by providing access for visiting pilots to the coastal town of Campomarino. It never handled scheduled commercial airline traffic and its significance was purely within the general aviation sector.
There are currently no known official plans, public discussions, or private initiatives to refurbish and reopen Arcora Flying Field. The significant investment required to restore the runway and facilities to meet modern ENAC safety and regulatory standards, combined with a lack of apparent commercial demand, makes the prospect of its reopening highly improbable.
