Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2000 and 2004. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a distinct, maintained turf runway in the mid-1990s. By 2005, the runway area was visibly being used for agriculture, indicating the airport had ceased operations in the years prior.

Reason for Closure

Economic reasons and land repurposing. While no official reason is documented, the conversion of the airfield directly into cultivated farmland strongly suggests the owner ceased aviation operations and repurposed the valuable land for agriculture, which is a common fate for small, private airstrips in rural areas.

Current Status

The site is now entirely agricultural land. The former runway is no longer visible and has been fully reclaimed for crop cultivation, seamlessly blending in with the surrounding fields. A building that was likely the hangar, located at the north end of the former runway, appears to still be standing and is probably used as a farm shed for equipment storage.

Historical Significance

Cleveland Airport was a small, private-use turf airstrip. It was not a commercial or public airport and had no IATA code. Its operations were characteristic of general aviation in a rural, agricultural setting. It likely served the personal and/or business needs of its owner, potentially for agricultural aviation (crop dusting) or private transportation. The name 'Cleveland' likely refers to the family that owned the land and operated the airstrip. It held no major regional or national significance.

Reopening Prospects

None known. The prospect of reopening is extremely unlikely, as the land has been actively and consistently farmed for approximately two decades. Re-establishing an airport would require converting productive agricultural land back to aviation use, which is not economically feasible for a private strip of this nature.
