Unknown. The airfield is not present in current or historical records and has no visible remnants on satellite imagery. If it existed as a temporary airstrip, it was likely decommissioned shortly after World War II, circa the late 1940s.
The reason for closure is undocumented, as the airfield's operational history is not officially recorded. If it was a WWII-era auxiliary strip, it would have been closed as part of post-war demobilization and the land returned to its original use. The land was likely reclaimed for agriculture, which is a common fate for temporary military airfields.
The site at the provided coordinates (32.06285, 72.51684) is currently agricultural farmland. High-resolution satellite imagery shows no trace of any aviation infrastructure such as a runway, taxiways, or buildings. The name 'Abbaspur' likely originates from the nearby village of Abbas Pur. The airfield does not exist as a physical entity today.
There is no documented historical significance for an airfield named 'Abbaspur Airfield'. The ICAO code 'PK-0051' is not an official ICAO designation but a placeholder used in some non-official, user-contributed aviation databases. The location is near the major Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Base Mushaf in Sargodha, which has a rich history dating back to its establishment by the Royal Air Force during the British era. It is plausible that 'Abbaspur Airfield' was a temporary, unpaved Satellite Landing Ground (SLG) or a dispersal strip for the main Sargodha base during World War II. These strips were built to disperse aircraft and make them less vulnerable to enemy attack but had minimal infrastructure and were not intended for permanent use.
None. The site has been fully converted to agricultural land for many decades. There are no physical remnants of an airfield, and there are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for developing an airport at this location.
