I think that list was generated from the contents of Rick Duiven's book. I've used it and found it as accurate as the book...
I used it recently - last week or the week before - but also have an issue opening it now. IE, Chrome and Firefox... so it's not the browser...

The closest German airfield to Verdun...
.
... was most probably in Sivry-sur-Meuse (about 20 km NNE of Verdun). This airfield was only a temporary one, since I have found no data that it was used after late 1916. Another very close one was in Cunel (about 25 km NE of Verdun). This aerodrome was used by the Germans until October 1918, shortly before American troops attacked the area during the Meuse-Argonne-campaign. That's all I have at the moment...  .

Sorry about the link...
I found reference to a few KEK fields in the area: Jametz, Vouziers, Monthois, Bantheville, Ferme de Chassogne (Aincreville), and Avillers (-Sainte-Croix). |

Over the Front 6-1 has maps showing airfield locations all along the Western front including the Verdun area.
