Alicusa

Economic reasons and disuse. The airfield was a small, private 'aviosuperficie' likely sustained by a small community of pilots or a private owner. Without sufficient activity to cover maintenance and operational costs, it was likely abandoned. The land, located in a prime agricultural region of Sicily, was subsequently converted back to its more economically productive use for farming (specifically, olive groves).

The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use. Current satellite imagery clearly shows that the area of the former runway is now part of an olive grove. While the faint, straight outline of the strip is still discernible from the air, there is no remaining aviation infrastructure such as hangars, a clubhouse, or markings. The land is actively farmed.

The site operated as 'Aviosuperficie Alicusa', a type of airfield in Italy designated for general aviation and ultralight (ULM) aircraft. Its significance was purely local, serving as a base for recreational pilots, flight enthusiasts, and possibly some light flight training in the Trapani province. It handled private, non-commercial flights and was a hub for the local light aviation community. It did not have scheduled passenger services or significant military operations.

Effectively zero. There are no known plans, discussions, or proposals to reopen the Alicusa airfield. The conversion of the land to high-value agriculture (olive cultivation) and the lack of any remaining infrastructure make a future reopening financially and logistically prohibitive. The general aviation needs of the region are served by other airports, including the major Trapani-Birgi Airport (LICT).
