Closed in 2028
Santa Monica Airport is closing on December 31st, 2028 after 50 years of complaints from locals (noise pollution, frequent crashes...) to be replaced by a huge parking lot
Any Info?
Does anyone have any info on this airstrip? It seems to be an equestrian facility and wedding venue on google maps but I can't find any info on any airstrip here.

Seasonal grass runway visible on latest sattalite imagery. Probably used by agricultural aircraft. No idea who this Airfield belongs to.
No longer exists?
According to Satellite and everything I can find the FADE Delmas Airport no longer exists and is now residential area

Reply to @labubuairportenthusiastTWO: I would think so.
Kairuku Airport (RKU, AYRK, KKU)
This airport isn't visible on Google Maps. Is there a pilot who can confirm its existence? Or is it an airport that should be deleted?
re: History
Reply to @Bollardant2: The Final Update
The two asphalt runways were established in 1952, parallel runway was added in 1964, and final runway was added sometime in 1979. The crosswind runway presumably closed following the 1964 expansion, and the 1979 runway replaced the one closer to the apron. Perhaps light aircraft still utilised the remaining eastern end of the crosswind runway before it was demolished, hence Stroudβs reporting of the airport in 1980.
Excellent place for a visit
A gem of Lithuania. 20 EUR per landing. Fenced perimeter with 24x7 staff.
No fuel services. OK for eclipse 500.
re: Homebuilt/experimental aircraft center
Reply to @expl: 2026 update: airport closed, any flights are reported to CAA by local a-holes (they are renting and using to store some crap).
Byan Airport
Could you please add this private airport
re: First comment
Reply to @I_Am_So_HandsomBefore the First World War, Brindisi only had a seaplane base. The first land runway for the airport was built in 1933.e:
Loei Airport
As of 2024. In the foyer, a Muslim prayer room on second floor, bathrooms easily accessible from waiting room, cafe, and overall clean. In waiting room, minimal but modest. Taxi services are provided. There are plans to upgrade the terminal, though I havenβt seen any progress since announcement. Recently, there have been infrastructure upgrades to the roads in Loei, adding more lanes and rebuilding bridges. In the villages, bridges are also being upgraded and overgrowing shrubbery have been cleared, as such in Ban Nam Chan.
Interesting fact: heavy machinery involved in construction works at the airport at the western edge of Ban Na A severely damaged an ordination hall of βWat Pho Chaiβ around 1969.
The First βAirfieldβ in Australia
Penrith Speedway-Aerodrome is the first case land was set aside for aviation services. It was used by George and Florence Taylorβs Aerial League of Australia to experiment human-carrying gliders during 1909, which also gave Australiaβs first pilot license to William Ewart Hart on 5 December 1911. Hart then established an aviation school here on 3 January 1912, though he later moved to the Ham Common in March of that year (also the site of RAAF Base Richmond). Aviation activities returned on 28 January 1928 when an aerodrome was opened, hosting aerial pageants and races along with aircraft races against motormobiles.
The speedway and aerodrome closed in 1941 to develop the Penrith Engineers' Stores Depot, becoming one of Australiaβs principal depots by the 1960s. Not much was made to bring this historical site to light, aside from a plaque and art installation.

No Pilot Info Page
The airport's pilot info page doesn't exist but the airfield is mostly used for general aviation and local operations in the city. The airport's runway length is 1,118m.
Delayed Construction
The Kurdistan Regional Government started the project in 2012 but they have faced many delays and the planned opening date is unknown. It will serve as the third international airport in the Kurdish region of Iraq upon completion.

The airport has four terminals and one FBO. Each terminal offers a variety of restaurants, stores, and many transportation companies for transfers. Some are good but used to be expensive. It's better to book transportation in advance because you could be scammed otherwise. Reliable transportation companies include Cancun Airport Transportation, Cancun Shuttles, and Airport Transportation and Taxi Aeropuerto Cancun.

Good airport, very clean!
First comment
The ancient concrete pavings look like the airport was built in WW1.
re: My mom sold planes here
Reply to @meredith: Oh, and I also took horseback riding lessons at Misty Manor Farm across from the airfield. 40 years later and I'm realizing I don't know how the horses handled the planes coming and going! The airport's owner, Al Bassler, wrote a book about Howard County history a couple of years ago at the young age of 97.
My mom sold planes here
My mom used to have a small business selling planes and she sold out of Haysfield. This was also a great place to see Halley's Comet back in 1986, at the time the light pollution was pretty low. It's a bummer to see the location marker on top of a housing development in the satellite view.
Parts Run
Picked up turbine parts early morning to get home in a decent time.
Fuel Stop
Their fuel still doesn't cost an arm and a leg to fill up, just an arm.
Alphamine Bisie Airfield
not have icao code is mining airfield
re: (no subject)
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.
Aereodromo di Walikale
The new Walikale airfield has an unpaved runway. Before it was built, aircraft used to land on the main road through Walikale town centre. The airfield currently has no assigned ICAO code.

Good airport. Clean, modern, but small. However, I don't think they need bigger.
