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
editIn 1936, the airfield was built by the Directorate of Air Engineers in the city of Rodez. By an order on 6 February 1947, Rodez - Onet-le-Château was listed among the public aerodromes to be operated by light-aircraft.[1]
During World War II, German troops dug several trenches on the airfield, fearing that it would be used by the Allied Forces. Around 1946, the trenches were filled up to prepare the airfield for flight services.[1]
On the 22nd of November, 1946, the post-war Ministry for Weaponry-Army-Public Works and Transport assigned the airfield to primarily supporr air transport and secondarily support recreational aviation such as gliding. In 1964, the airfield built concrete runway markings on the two grass runways. [1]
Closure
editBy the early 1960s, the airfield became too close to the edge of Rodez City, hindering expansion of the airfield. Therefore the decision was made in 1965 to build a new airfield further from town. In 1971, Rodez Chateâux Airfield was finally closed after the completion of Rodez–Aveyron Airport. [1]
Redevelopment
editDuring the mid-1970s, two football fields were built on the former airport. Currently, Rodez Chateâux Airport has been redeveloped into the Trauc Sports Complex with three football fields, a shooting range, and a bowling alley.[1] [2]
