Not Applicable. 'Rotterdam Red Bull Airport (NL-0068)' is a fictional airport that never officially existed or operated.
Not Applicable. The airport was never operational and therefore was never closed. The name and ICAO code (NL-0068) originate from community-created scenery for flight simulator software (like Microsoft Flight Simulator/X-Plane), designed to represent the Red Bull Air Race events that were held in Rotterdam.
The airport site is non-existent. The provided coordinates (51.898628, 4.473506) do not point to a closed airport. Instead, they correspond to the location of the **Maasvlakte Heliport (ICAO: EHTP)**. This is an active and operational heliport located in the Port of Rotterdam, primarily used for transporting maritime pilots to and from sea vessels.
The fictional airport has no real-world historical significance. Its creation in the virtual world was inspired by the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, which held races over the Nieuwe Maas river in Rotterdam in 2005 and 2008. For these real events, the race planes typically operated from the official Rotterdam The Hague Airport (ICAO: EHRD), not a temporary airport in the city.
There are no plans or prospects for reopening, as the airport is a fictional entity that has never existed in reality.
