Söderhamn Airport (ESNY) closes

The subject of permanently closing down the former F15 Air Force Base has been up for discussion many times since the military closed its activity back in 1996. The airport has been used for civil operations as Helsinge Airport for 15 years, but the attempts to attract further businesses to the airport have unfortunately failed.

On Monday evening all the local parties were united in the question and the City Council decided to close down Söderhamn / Helsinge Airport (ESNY) for good. The operations will be terminated this Thursday.

Representatives at the airport told Nordic Rotors that the fuelling service will be available at least until the end of this year. The airport is the only JET-A1 fuel station between Gävle and Sundsvall.
