Otmice Airport

Economic reasons. The airfield was primarily used for agricultural aviation (crop dusting). This sector saw a significant decline in Poland following the political and economic transformations of the 1990s and early 2000s. Changes in farming practices, land ownership, and the overall cost-effectiveness of aerial application made most small, specialized airfields like Otmice economically unviable, leading to their abandonment.

The site is no longer an airfield and is unrecognizable as such from the ground. The former grass runway has been fully integrated into the surrounding farmland. Recent satellite imagery shows the area is actively used for agricultural purposes, including the storage of large silage bales and farming equipment. All aviation infrastructure has been removed, and the land has been completely repurposed.

Otmice Airport was an agricultural airfield, known in Polish as an 'agrolotnisko'. Its primary function was to support aerial application services for the large state-run farms in the region. Operations typically involved crop dusting, fertilizing, and pest control. The aircraft used were likely those common in Polish agricultural aviation, such as the PZL-M18 Dromader and possibly the Antonov An-2. Its history is representative of the numerous local airfields that supported Poland's agricultural industry during the Polish People's Republic (PRL) era and the early post-communist years.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the Otmice airfield. The site has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and the economic basis for its original function no longer exists. Re-establishing it as an airfield would require significant investment to acquire the land and reconstruct the runway, for which there is no apparent demand. Its reopening is considered highly improbable.
