Not Applicable. The facility, a helipad within the Cilvegözü Border Gate complex, has not been 'closed'. The 'closed' status present in some unofficial databases is a misclassification. This likely stems from its status as a private, restricted-access facility ('closed to the public') rather than a decommissioned airport.
Not Applicable. The helipad was never a public airport and therefore was not closed for conventional reasons. It is a purpose-built landing zone within an active, high-security government facility. Its use is, and has always been, restricted to official Turkish government, military, and emergency services.
The site is an active and fully operational international border crossing complex controlled by Turkish authorities. The helipad remains in service for official government and military use as required. Satellite imagery confirms it is a well-maintained paved area within the secure perimeter of the border post.
The helipad is located at the Cilvegözü Sınır Kapısı, one of Turkey's most critical border crossings with Syria. Its significance is tied directly to the security and administration of this strategic point. It has served as a vital asset for the Turkish Armed Forces, Gendarmerie (Jandarma), and police for surveillance, rapid deployment, and logistical support. During the Syrian Civil War, the Cilvegözü crossing became a primary gateway for internationally sanctioned humanitarian aid, making the helipad crucial for security overwatch, medical evacuations (MEDEVAC), and transport of officials.
Not Applicable. Since the facility was never a public airport and has not been closed or decommissioned, there are no prospects or plans for 'reopening'. It will continue to function in its current capacity as a restricted government helipad for the foreseeable future.
