Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa March 2007. The operating company, Chita Flying Club Co., Ltd. (株式会社知多フライングクラブ), was officially declared bankrupt on March 28, 2007, leading to the cessation of all operations around that time.

Reason for Closure

Economic reasons. The airport's operator, the Chita Flying Club Co., Ltd., filed for bankruptcy, making the continued operation of the private airfield financially impossible.

Current Status

The site has been completely redeveloped and is now the location of the Agui Solar Power Plant (阿久比太陽光発電所), a large-scale solar energy farm. All aviation infrastructure, including the runway, taxiways, and hangars, was demolished around 2013 to make way for the solar panel installation, which became operational circa 2014.

Historical Significance

The Chita Flying Club Airstrip was a private, non-public airfield (known in Japan as a 'jōgai richakuriku-jō') that opened in 1990. It served as a base for the Chita Flying Club, catering to general aviation enthusiasts in the Aichi Prefecture. Operations primarily consisted of recreational flying, flight training, and sightseeing in small, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas. It featured a single paved runway approximately 600 meters long and was a key local hub for private pilots.

Reopening Prospects

None. There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airstrip. The land has been permanently and completely repurposed for industrial-scale renewable energy generation, making any return to aviation activities infeasible.
