Močna Jurkovič Airfield

Economic reasons and change in land use. The private owner of the land sold or repurposed the site for a more profitable venture. The location was redeveloped for renewable energy production, and it was not a result of any accident, military conversion, or regulatory action against the airfield itself.

The site of the former airfield has been completely transformed and is now occupied by the 'Sončni park Močna' (Močna Solar Park). This is one of the largest solar power plants in Slovenia. All aviation infrastructure, including the grass runway, windsock, and hangar, has been removed and replaced by thousands of solar panels. The land is exclusively used for electricity generation.

Močna Jurkovič Airfield was a small, private grass airstrip primarily serving the general aviation community. It was a popular spot for ultralight aircraft, motor gliders, and sport flying enthusiasts in the Štajerska (Styria) region of Slovenia, near the city of Maribor. It was not a commercial or military airport and had no scheduled passenger or cargo services. Its significance was purely recreational, providing a base for local pilots and the 'Aeroklub Sršen' (Hornet Aeroclub). The airfield featured a single grass runway (approximately 600 meters long) and basic facilities like a small hangar.

There are zero plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. The land has been permanently and significantly repurposed with the construction of a large-scale solar power plant. The cost and logistics of removing the solar farm to restore a small private airstrip make its return to aviation activities virtually impossible.
