Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025

Closure Date

Not applicable. The existence of this airport is unconfirmed and appears to be a data error in aviation databases. No physical evidence of an airfield has been found at the specified coordinates.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable. As the airport's existence cannot be verified, a reason for closure cannot be determined. The entry likely originated from an error in a dataset that was then copied by other online sources.

Current Status

The site at coordinates 60.33571, 32.93771 is undeveloped forest land within the Podporozhsky District of the Leningrad Oblast, Russia. There are no structures or signs of previous development related to an airport.

Historical Significance

There is no verifiable historical record of an airport named Rybezhno West (RU-0499) at this location. The ICAO-style code 'RU-0499' is not an official designation assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization but a national or database-specific identifier, which can sometimes include erroneous or non-existent sites. Analysis of historical and current satellite imagery, as well as topographic maps of the area, shows no evidence of a runway, buildings, or any aviation infrastructure. The name may be a misattribution or a typo related to another location, but as it stands, Rybezhno West is considered a non-existent, or 'phantom', airfield.

Reopening Prospects

None. As there is no evidence that an airport ever existed at this location, there are no plans or prospects for its 'reopening'.
