The airfield opened in October 2009. It had an asphalt runway of 700 meters (2,297 feet) long, suitable for smaller general aviation aircraft only. In December 2015, its imminent closure was announced. Local government bodies were not interested in investing in the airfield to help develop it further to allow business aviation, and income from recreational aviation alone proved to be insufficient. Following this decision, air traffic was restricted to helicopters only. Afterwards, truck trailer parking was built over the runway for Ewals Cargo Care. Only a small section of runway remains visible and there is no aviation activity on the site. The area is still referred to as TrafficPort on road signs however.
