The aeroclub is currently closed and inactive. Even though the airfield is still visible from above, landing there is not permitted. The main contact person was Francesco Santoro, who died in an aircraft accident on April 21, 2010.
The area is currently out of operation. I do not know the exact reasons why it was closed or who the current owner is, but I know that in 2015 an aerial drug-trafficking operation involving marijuana transported from Albania was dismantled at that aeroclub.
Today, in 2026, anyone wishing to land in the area can use the new Dune Airpark, located approximately 2 kilometres farther north, near the town of Montalbano.

@Pugliapilot Cosa è successo esattamente qui? Sono passato di qui e sembra abbandonato. Si può ancora usare? Sto cercando un sito per atterrare, chi è il proprietario attuale?
