Squadra Avvoltoi Airfield

The primary reason for closure was the sale and redevelopment of the land for commercial and industrial use. Like many small, privately-owned airfields, its closure was likely driven by economic factors, specifically the high value of the land for non-aviation development. There is no indication of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The site has been completely and permanently redeveloped. All traces of the runway, taxiways, and hangars have been demolished. The land is now occupied by a large-scale logistics and e-commerce fulfillment park. Key occupants of the site include a major fulfillment center for the online retailer Zalando and facilities for the logistics company GXO. The location is now a strategic industrial hub, leveraging its proximity to major highways.

Squadra Avvoltoi Airfield was an 'aviosuperficie,' a type of small airfield in Italy designated for general aviation and, most prominently, ultralight aircraft (known as VDS - Volo da Diporto o Sportivo). It served as the home base for the local flying club from which it took its name, the 'Squadra Avvoltoi' (Vulture Squadron). The airfield was a hub for recreational flying, ultralight flight training, and social gatherings for aviation enthusiasts in the Verona region. It played a role in the local grassroots aviation scene but never handled commercial, cargo, or scheduled passenger operations.

Zero. There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. The land has been irrevocably repurposed with the construction of massive, permanent industrial buildings, making any return to aviation use impossible.
