Approximately mid-2010s. The exact date of closure is not publicly documented, but the airstrip was officially removed from the Polish Civil Aviation Authority (Urząd Lotnictwa Cywilnego - ULC) registry and ceased to be maintained around this time. Online aviation databases mark it as 'liquidated' or 'closed'.
The specific reason for closure is not publicly recorded, which is common for small, privately-owned airfields. The closure was most likely due to economic reasons, a change in land ownership, or the owner's decision to cease aviation activities. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, environmental concerns, or military conversion.
The site is no longer an active airfield. Current satellite imagery shows the area as an open, unmaintained field or meadow. While the faint outline of the former grass runway is still visible from the air, it is overgrown and indistinct. The land appears to be used for agricultural purposes or is simply lying fallow. There is no active aviation infrastructure, such as hangars, windsock, or markings, remaining on the site.
Lotnisko Turośń Kościelna was a small, private grass airstrip ('lądowisko' in Polish) serving the general aviation community. Its primary function was to support recreational flying, including ultralight and light sport aircraft, for pilots in the Białystok region. It featured a single grass runway with approximate dimensions of 600 meters by 50 meters. Its significance was purely local, providing essential infrastructure for private aviation enthusiasts rather than handling commercial or military operations.
There are no known or publicly discussed plans to reopen the Turośń Kościelna airstrip. For it to become operational again, a new owner would need to acquire the land, invest in restoring the runway and facilities, and complete the complex process of re-registering it with the Polish Civil Aviation Authority. The prospects for reopening are considered extremely low to non-existent.
