Eliporto Calasca
Located in the municipality of Calasca-Castiglione, just above Pieve Vergonte in the Anzasca Valley, this is an unofficial mountain landing site with no ICAO designation.
The area is typically used for alpine operations, rescue, and logistics, serving as a transition point between the valley floor and high-altitude routes toward Monte Rosa.
Pilot notes:
Surface: unprepared / variable (grass, gravel, or compacted ground)
Space: limited, with surrounding terrain constraints
Winds: can be unpredictable due to valley effects
Obstacles: terrain and vegetation nearby
Operations: short stays only, engines usually kept running
Summary:
A practical but non-standard alpine landing spot. Suitable only for experienced pilots familiar with mountain flying and confined area operations.
Cervinia Heliport
Breuil-Cervinia Helipad (Breuil-Cervinia) is a high-altitude alpine landing site (~2000 m) used mainly for rescue and heliski operations.
From a pilotโs perspective, this is a demanding VFR environment with:
strong and unpredictable mountain winds
significant density altitude effects
limited landing space and no standard airport infrastructure
There is no ICAO code, no ATC, and no IFR supportโoperations rely entirely on pilot skill and situational awareness.
Rifugio Monzino
Rifugio Monzino is a high-altitude, non-certified landing zone at ~2,590 m on an exposed ridge in the Mont Blanc massif. It is regularly used for HEMS and supply operations, not for general aviation.
Private Field
Based aircraft only.
Glacier du Dolent
1. Valley entry
enter via:
Val Ferret (Italy or Switzerland)
low altitude โ gradual climb
2. Reconnaissance (essential)
first high pass (300โ500 ft above)
check:
slope
wind (snow drift indications)
crevasses
3. Direction choice
Always:
land into the wind
BUT also:
land uphill (uphill landing)
n the mountains this is more important than the runway itself
4. Final approach
short and direct
no guaranteed go-around.
A very dangerous area for landings, and difficult even for experienced mountain pilots. Yet, from time to time, someone still lands there or performs a touch-and-go without leaving any documentation of the landing spot or the type of approach used
Idroscalo di Spotorno
The Spotorno Seaplane Base is a flight school for seaplanes and also offers tourist flights in the area. The Spotorno Seaplane Base is connected to the Pianfei airfield, which is located on land and not on the sea, just a few kilometers away. The official website is provided above.
Usable
This airport is still usable for light aircraft with tundra tires.

According to calculation, if they add up all three runways, including the one closed together, they can form a 3451 m by 45 m runway.(just bored)

Reply to @I_Am_So_Handsome:
Per comment, "... downgrades any hope of it being anything but a small, regional airport". so far seventeen home base members have not considered this a major airport.

Used to be a commercial airport until 2013, and now a military air base.

Really cool airport. Such a long runway, has quite a lot of cargo flights.
First comment.
Severely damaged during the war in Donbas in 2014. Permanently closed in the same year. A project for a new airport has been unveiled by the Russian authorities and is expected to be completed by 2028.

Currently unoperatable. In 2021, the municipality voted to terminate the activities of the Airport .

A poorly rated airport, mainly due to its chaotic 14-year construction, with over 120,000 technical defects, poor design, a non-functional fire safety system, long waiting lines, and dozens of other problems.
First comment.
Located geographically in Africa, but politically in Europe.

All the airports in Spain are marked as located in Africa. Hope the devs can fix the bug.

There are no regular scheduled services at the airport due to the ongoing closure of the Ukrainian airspace, currently.
First comment.
Designated as international, currently does ot have international flights. It has domestic flights to Moscow, Novosibirsk and Irkutsk.

Aerodrome website/pilot info/airclub website is www.dewouw.net
Incorrect website links
The currently indicated website www.ebst.aero/ is not functioning, as well as the Pilot info URL www.aero-hesbaye.be/brustem.htm
The correct URL is droneport.eu and specifically for pilot information it should be droneport.eu/aerodrome-info/ (and even more specifically droneport.eu/aerodrome-handbook , PDF file)

The only airport that lands on a beach. It has only one flight to Glasgow.
First comment.
The airport serves the northernmost city in the world.
Since it is capable of handling wide-body jets, it is a diversion airport on Polar route 1.

This is the second busiest international airport in Serbia.

General Enquiry.

Does anyone have any information on this airfield, is it still in operation? contact details etc.
Thanks.
Carl.
First comment.
This airport is planned to be open in 2034, 8 years later, to replace the current Humberto Delgado Airport, which has only one runway.
Don't reply to this comment until the airport opens. Thank you very much.
First comment.
This airport's runway length is tied with China's Shigaztse Peace Airport, both are 5000m.
This one is mainly a cargo and test airport.
First comment.
This airport was scheduled to be open in Summer 2025, but it got delayed. Chair Airlines announced that flights from Zurich will start in June 2026.

Helipad Piedimulera
๐ Tue, 14 Apr 2026
โ @Pugliapilot at Helipad Piedimulera, Italy
Located in the municipality of Piedimulera, in the lower Anzasca Valley near Pieve Vergonte, this is an unregistered heli operating site with no ICAO designation.
Operational profile:
Surface: generally firm ground (grass/gravel), more stable than high-altitude sites
Space: moderate, suitable for light to medium helicopters
Environment: valley setting with surrounding terrain but fewer constraints than alpine peaks
Winds: possible valley channeling, but typically more manageable
Usage:
Primarily used for local operations, logistics, and occasional rescue support, acting as a practical staging point between the valley floor and higher mountain areas.
Summary:
A functional, non-certified landing area offering relatively straightforward operations compared to high-altitude sites. Suitable for pilots with basic mountain flying awareness, but still requiring attention to terrain and local wind conditions.
