Aeródromo da Aldeia de Palma

The closure was almost certainly due to economic reasons and the cessation of private aviation activities by the landowner. Small, private airstrips of this nature are expensive to maintain, and their operation is solely dependent on the owner's personal or business need for an airfield. There is no public record of the closure being caused by a specific accident, regulatory action, or military conversion.

The airfield is permanently closed and abandoned. The site of the former runway is now completely overgrown with vegetation and has been partially reclaimed for agricultural use, with visible farm tracks crossing the old landing strip. A single building, which likely served as a small hangar, still stands on the property, but the overall infrastructure is in a state of decay and unusable for any aviation purposes.

Aeródromo da Aldeia de Palma was a small, private airfield. Its primary purpose was to serve the general aviation needs of the owner, likely associated with the large agricultural estate 'Herdade da Palma' on which it is located. Operations would have consisted of light aircraft and possibly ultralights for recreational purposes, private transport, or agricultural support like crop surveying. It featured a single unpaved (dirt/grass) runway approximately 600 meters long. The airfield never handled commercial traffic and had no military or strategic significance.

There are no known or published plans to reopen the Aeródromo da Aldeia de Palma. Given its private status, the significant cost required to clear the land, resurface the runway, and restore facilities makes reopening highly improbable. Any revival would depend entirely on a future private owner of the land having both a vested interest in aviation and the capital to fund the reconstruction.
