Dębno Polskie Airfield

The closure was primarily due to economic and systemic changes in Poland. Dębno Polskie was an agricultural airstrip ('lądowisko rolnicze') used for crop dusting and other aerial application services. After the fall of communism in 1989 and the subsequent privatization and restructuring of state-owned agriculture, the demand for such large-scale aerial services dramatically decreased. Many specialized airfields like this one became economically unviable and obsolete, leading to their closure and the land being reverted to its primary agricultural purpose.

The site of the former airfield has been fully converted back into active agricultural land. Current satellite imagery shows no remaining traces of the runway or any aviation-related infrastructure like hangars or service buildings. The land is now a cultivated field, indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland.

The airfield's significance was functional and local rather than strategic or historical. During the era of the Polish People's Republic (PRL), it served as a vital piece of infrastructure for agricultural aviation in the Rawicz region. Operations were handled by aviation service enterprises (Przedsiębiorstwo Usług Lotniczych) and consisted almost exclusively of agricultural aircraft, such as the PZL-106 Kruk and Antonov An-2. These planes used the grass runway to support the large, state-owned farms by conducting crop dusting, fertilization, and pest control flights.

There are no known or published plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening the Dębno Polskie Airfield. The original purpose for the airfield is now obsolete, and there is no apparent economic, transport, or recreational demand in the region that would justify the significant cost of re-acquiring the private farmland and reconstructing aviation infrastructure from scratch.
