This airport does not exist and therefore was never closed. The query references a 'phantom' airport, likely a data error in online databases. The name 'Kakhovka/Romny' combines two separate, now-closed Ukrainian airbases (Kakhovka and Romny), which were largely abandoned in the 1990s after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
The airport was not closed as it is a non-existent entity. The confusion likely stems from the actual closure of two different Ukrainian airbases: Kakhovka Air Base and Romny Air Base. Both were closed in the post-Soviet era due to military restructuring, downsizing, and economic reasons following Ukraine's independence.
The site at coordinates 50.8133, 129.2167 in Amur Oblast, Russia, is undeveloped land or forest with no aviation infrastructure. The name 'Kakhovka/Romny' is a data artifact. The closest major installation is the active Ukrainka strategic airbase (UHBU). The actual former airbases in Kakhovka and Romny, Ukraine, are defunct and largely dismantled.
The specified 'Kakhovka/Romny Airbase' has no historical significance as it never existed. However, the names and location data refer to real historical sites:
1) Kakhovka Air Base (Ukraine): A former Soviet-era military training airfield.
2) Romny Air Base (Ukraine): Formerly hosted a Soviet Naval Aviation anti-submarine helicopter regiment.
3) The coordinates (50.8133, 129.2167) are in Amur Oblast, Russia, near the highly significant and *active* Ukrainka Air Base (ICAO: UHBU), a major strategic bomber base for the Russian Aerospace Forces hosting Tu-95MS aircraft since the Cold War.
There are no prospects for reopening, as the airport does not exist. There are also no known plans to build an airport at this specific location. The nearby Ukrainka Air Base remains a key active military installation for Russia, while the former Kakhovka and Romny airbases in Ukraine are considered permanently closed with no plans for reactivation.
