Approximately between 2002 and 2004. Satellite imagery from 2002 shows the runway was still intact, but by 2005, major construction had begun on the site, completely obliterating the airstrip.
The primary reason for the closure was economic and land redevelopment. The valuable riverfront property was repurposed for a major tourism project. The land once occupied by the airstrip was used to construct the Marina de Entre-os-Rios and the large Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa complex.
The site has been completely redeveloped and is unrecognizable as a former airfield. The land is now occupied by the Marina de Entre-os-Rios, which provides docking for recreational boats, and the Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa, a major resort in the region. There are no remaining traces of the runway or any aviation facilities.
Entre-os-Rios Airstrip was a small general aviation aerodrome. Its primary function was to serve as the base for the local flying club, 'Clube Aéreo de Entre-os-Rios'. It handled light aircraft for recreational flying, flight training, and private use. Its scenic location on the banks of the Douro River made it a notable landmark for local pilots, but it had no commercial or military significance.
Non-existent. The land has been permanently and completely repurposed for a high-value commercial and tourism development. There are no plans, discussions, or physical possibilities for the airstrip to be reopened at its original location.
