Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is unknown, but evidence suggests it closed between the mid-1990s and 2009. The associated business, 'Delta Ultralights Inc.', filed its last report in 1993 and became inactive. By 2010, FAA records officially listed the airport as 'Closed indefinitely'.

Reason for Closure

The closure is attributed to economic reasons tied to the cessation of the owner's business. As a private-use ultralightport, its existence was dependent on the operating company, 'Delta Ultralights Inc.'. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

Current Status

The site is now private property and is no longer recognizable as an active airfield. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows that the former turf runway is now an overgrown field or a large lawn adjacent to what appears to be a private residence and a large outbuilding/hangar. The land is used for private residential or agricultural purposes.

Historical Significance

Delta Ultralightport was a private airfield that emerged during the ultralight aviation boom of the 1980s. It was established by 'Delta Ultralights Inc.' (incorporated in 1983) to serve the recreational flying community in the Mississippi Delta region of Louisiana. Its operations were focused exclusively on ultralight aircraft, likely providing a base for flying, training, and sales. The airport featured a single turf runway (18/36) with dimensions of 1500 x 100 feet.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Delta Ultralightport. The land is privately owned and has been fully converted to non-aviation use for many years. Re-establishing the airport is considered extremely unlikely and would depend entirely on the current landowner's initiative and investment.
