Rodez - Onet-le-Château airfield (also known as Averyron Airfield) is an Aerodrome constructed by the Directorate of Air Engineers. The airfield is located west of the commune of Onet-le-Château.

History

In 1936, the airfield was built by the Directorate of Air Engineers in the city of Rodez. In June 1939, the airfield was opened as a municipal aerodrome with no arranged airstrip, but rather a flying field of 600-600m.

In June 1944, Rodez Châteaux Airport was never found to be operated by the Luftwaffe, and was rather used as an emergency landing ground onwards. During mid World War II, German troops dug several trenches on the airfield, fearing that it would be used by the Allied Forces.

Post War

After World War II in 1946, the trenches made by the Germans were filled up to revitalize the airfield for public aviation, and recreational flights. On November 22, 1946, the post-war Ministry for Weaponry-Army-Public Works and Transport assigned the airfield to primarily support air transport and secondarily support recreational aviation such as gliding. In 1964, the airfield built concrete runway markings on its two grass runways.

Closure

By the early 1960s, the airfield became too close to the edge of Rodez City, hindering expansion of the airfield. Therefore, a decision was made in 1965 to construct a new airfield furtherer away from town. On April 16, 1971, Rodez Chateâux Airfield was finally closed after the completion of Rodez–Aveyron Airport.

Redevelopment

During the mid-1970s, two football fields were built on the former airport. Currently, Rodez Chateâux Airport has been redeveloped into the Trauc Sports Complex (Ville de Rodez), and Stades du Trauc (Stade Rodez Tir à l'Arc, Route de DECAZEVILLE Complexe sportif du trauc, 12850). Located in a green environment, it also offers various infrastructures for various activities such as tennis, volleyball, jogging, three football fields, shooting range, and bowling alley.
