Unknown. The airstrip was likely never an officially commissioned public airport and appears to have fallen into disuse. There is no formal record of an opening or closing date, but based on satellite imagery and lack of records, it has likely been inactive since the late 20th or early 21st century.
Abandonment or cessation of original purpose. This was not a commercial airport, so its closure was not due to economic failure in the traditional sense. It was most likely a private, agricultural, or auxiliary military/gendarmerie landing strip. When its specific purpose was no longer required, it was simply abandoned and no longer maintained.
Abandoned and disused. Satellite imagery confirms the site consists of a single paved runway in a state of decay, surrounded by agricultural fields. There are no terminal buildings, hangars, or any supporting infrastructure. The strip is unmaintained and unusable for aviation purposes. It may be used informally by locals for non-aviation activities.
Minimal to none. This airstrip has no known historical significance as a public or major military airport. It never handled scheduled passenger or cargo flights. Its operations were likely limited to light aircraft for agricultural purposes (crop dusting), private use, or as an emergency/auxiliary landing strip for Turkish Gendarmerie or military forces. It is not to be confused with the historically significant Kayseri Erkilet Airport (LTAF), which is one of Turkey's oldest air bases and a key regional transport hub.
None. There are no known plans, discussions, or logical prospects for reopening this remote airstrip. The Kayseri region is well-served by the large, modern, and expanding Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR/LTAF), making the development of this small, isolated strip economically and logistically unfeasible.
