Malå flygfält

Economic reasons and inactivity. The airfield was primarily operated by the local flying club, Malå Flygklubb. Like many small, rural general aviation clubs, it likely faced declining membership and increasing operational costs, leading to the cessation of activities. Without an active club to maintain the runway and facilities, the airfield fell into disuse and was eventually abandoned.

The site is abandoned and in a state of decay. Satellite imagery confirms that the runway is completely overgrown with grass, shrubs, and small trees, making it unusable for any aviation purposes. The hangar building to the southeast of the former runway appears to still be standing, but its condition is unknown. The airfield is not used for any other formal purpose (e.g., motorsports or agriculture) and is slowly reverting to forest.

Malå flygfält was a small general aviation airfield that served as the home base for the Malå Flygklubb (Malå Flying Club). Its primary function was to support recreational flying, pilot training, and private light aircraft for the local community in the Malå Municipality. The airfield consisted of a single unpaved (grass/gravel) runway, approximately 700-800 meters long, and a small hangar. It was a vital piece of infrastructure for the local aviation enthusiasts in this relatively remote part of Västerbotten County.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Malå flygfält. The local flying club that managed the site is inactive, and significant investment would be required to clear the land, restore the runway surface, and bring any remaining facilities up to a usable standard. Given the trend of small airfields closing in Sweden, a reopening is highly unlikely.
