Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The airfield officially ceased operations and was removed from the ENAC (Italian Civil Aviation Authority) registry circa 2012-2013. The closure was gradual, with flight activity dwindling in the years prior.

Reason for Closure

The closure was primarily due to economic reasons and a decline in operational activity. Small general aviation airfields like this often struggle with high maintenance costs, insurance, and regulatory compliance relative to the revenue they generate. With declining use by local pilots, it became financially unsustainable for the operator. The land was subsequently sold and repurposed for a more profitable commercial venture.

Current Status

The site has been completely and permanently repurposed. The former runway and surrounding grounds are now home to a large, professional go-kart track called 'Cogiskart Corridonia'. The asphalt karting circuit is built directly on top of the old airstrip, and the facility includes pits, spectator areas, and support buildings. The original aviation function of the site is no longer recognizable or possible.

Historical Significance

Aviosuperficie 'Bore di Chienti' was a classic Italian general aviation airfield. It served as a local hub for recreational and sport flying in the province of Macerata. Its operations were focused on:
- Ultralight aircraft (VDS - Volo da Diporto o Sportivo).
- Single-engine private aircraft for leisure flights.
- Potentially a small flight school for obtaining private pilot licenses.
It was never a commercial airport and did not handle scheduled passenger or cargo flights. Its significance was purely local, providing essential infrastructure for the region's private pilots and aviation enthusiasts. The name 'Bore di Chienti' refers to its specific location within the municipality of Corridonia, near the Chienti river.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero prospects for reopening the site as an airfield. The permanent conversion of the infrastructure into a commercial go-kart facility makes a return to aviation activities impossible without demolishing the current business and completely rebuilding the runway and aviation facilities from scratch. There are no known plans or movements to do so.
