Krzewica Airport

The closure was a direct result of the large-scale restructuring and downsizing of the Polish Armed Forces following the end of the Cold War. As part of a broader military consolidation and budget reduction strategy, the resident air regiment was disbanded, and the base was deemed redundant to the needs of the modern Polish Air Force.

The site is no longer used for aviation. After being decommissioned, the property was managed by the Military Property Agency (Agencja Mienia Wojskowego) and eventually sold to private investors. A large portion of the former airfield, including areas adjacent to and on the runway itself, has been redeveloped into one of Poland's largest photovoltaic power plants, the Krzewica Solar Farm. While the original runway, taxiways, and many of the decaying hardened aircraft shelters are still visible from satellite imagery, the site is now primarily an industrial zone for renewable energy generation.

Krzewica was a significant Cold War-era military airbase for the Polish Air Force. Constructed in the 1950s, it was primarily the home of the 61st Fighter-Bomber Training Regiment (61. Lotniczy Pułk Szkolno-Bojowy). This regiment was a key training unit, subordinate to the prestigious Higher Officers' Aviation School in Dęblin ('School of the Eaglets'). The base played a crucial role in training generations of Polish military pilots on various jet aircraft. Operations included training on aircraft such as the MiG-15 (and its Polish variant, Lim-2), Lim-5 (Polish MiG-17), and the Polish-designed TS-11 Iskra jet trainer. The airfield's infrastructure, including a 2,250-meter concrete runway and numerous hardened aircraft shelters (HAS), was characteristic of a strategic Warsaw Pact airbase.

There are no known official plans or credible prospects for reopening Krzewica Airport. The extensive redevelopment of the site into a large-scale solar farm, combined with over two decades of neglect and deterioration of the remaining aviation infrastructure (runway, taxiways), makes any future reactivation for flight operations highly improbable and economically unfeasible.
