Srpci Airfield

Economic reasons and obsolescence. The airfield was a simple, unpaved strip, most likely used for agricultural aviation (crop dusting). Such airfields often became defunct due to changes in agricultural technology, the privatization or closure of the large farming collectives that operated them, and a general lack of need. The closure was not a formal event but a gradual abandonment due to lack of use.

The site is abandoned and inactive. Satellite imagery shows the clear but unmaintained outline of a dirt or grass runway located in the middle of agricultural fields. The land has largely reverted to farming, and there is no infrastructure such as buildings, hangars, or navigational aids remaining on the site. It is not used for any aviation activities.

Srpci Airfield had minimal historical significance and was primarily of local importance. It was never a commercial or military airport. Its main function was likely to support agricultural operations in the highly fertile Pelagonia valley, serving light aircraft for crop dusting and aerial surveys. The ICAO code 'MK-0019' is an unofficial identifier found in community-maintained databases (like OurAirports) rather than an official designation from the International Civil Aviation Organization, which underscores its status as a minor, informal airstrip.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Srpci Airfield. The general and sport aviation needs for the Bitola region are met by the nearby Logovardi Airfield (LBBL). Given the lack of infrastructure at Srpci and no apparent economic or strategic demand, its reactivation is highly unlikely.
