Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2012-2013. Satellite imagery confirms the airfield was intact and operational in August 2012. By 2013, construction of a large solar farm on the site was complete, indicating the airfield ceased operations in the intervening period.

Reason for Closure

Economic conversion. The airfield was decommissioned to allow for the construction of a large-scale photovoltaic power plant. The project, developed by Marcegaglia Energy, was considered a more profitable use of the land compared to maintaining a general aviation facility.

Current Status

The site is now the 'Parco Fotovoltaico di Campomarino,' a large, operational solar power plant. The entire length of the former runway and surrounding taxiways are completely covered by rows of solar panels. The original aviation infrastructure has been removed, and the site is no longer recognizable as an airfield.

Historical Significance

The airfield, officially known as 'Aviosuperficie La Madonnina' (with 'Madna' being a common abbreviation), was a significant hub for general and recreational aviation in the Molise region. It featured a paved runway approximately 850 meters (2,790 ft) long, capable of handling light aircraft, ultralights (ULM), and supporting activities such as flight training and sport aviation. Its closure was a notable loss for the local aviation community as it was one of the few well-equipped facilities of its kind in the province.

Reopening Prospects

Zero. The land has been permanently and comprehensively repurposed for industrial-scale energy generation. Reopening the airfield would necessitate the complete removal of the multi-megawatt solar farm and a full reconstruction of all aviation facilities, which is economically and logistically unfeasible. There are no known plans or discussions to revert the site to an airfield.
