Fancy buying your own Spanish airfield? Ocana is up for sale.




SENASA has put up for public auction the airfield of OcaƱa (Spain) with a minimum bid of € 1,060,000. The sale will be available through Escrapalia, the company awarded with the tender for the marketing and management of the auction. 


It has a cadastral area of 379,266 square meters, 74,249 of them built (2.5%), although its potential for development is 5%. It has two crossed runways of 1,280 and 700 meters, the first one partially asphalted (the 20 meters in the middle), and a 23,400 square meter aircraft parking apron. The infrastructure is designed for the operation of aircraft between 15 and 24 meters in size and wingspan. Its airspace has "protected" conditions for the operation of sport aviation and general activities.

The airfield, which is restricted for public, uncontrolled use, can be used for activities related to the aeronautical and innovation industries, such as general and sport aviation, gliding, UAS (drones), aerial work, construction and manufacturing of aeronautical material and R&D projects in mobility or energy efficiency. It is also a suitable facility for the filming and audiovisual production of commercials and movies or for holding events, as well as a logistics, real estate or leisure centre due to its proximity to Madrid.

Warehouses, classrooms, offices and five hangars
The aeronautical infrastructure, 60 km from Madrid (Spain), has two hangars of 1,600 square meters each, with a main hall, office and toilets. A hangar of 1,871 square meters with two floors: a ground floor for aircraft maintenance, workshops, storage areas and changing rooms, and an upper floor with training rooms and offices.




It also has a 380 square meter auxiliary hangar for storage; a 400 square meter fibre and paint shop; a 300 square meter hangar, currently used for the ULM school; a storage building; a transformer substation; a fuel facility and a meteorological station. It also has a paved access road and parking areas.

In addition, an external company owns a 500 square meter hangar used for a parachuting school.

The dorm room area of the student’s residence is out of use.
