Approximately 1998-1999. The airport was depicted as active on the 1998 Detroit Sectional Chart but was marked as 'Abandoned' on the 1999 edition of the same chart.
The specific reason is not officially documented. However, the closure is consistent with patterns for small, private airfields, which often cease operations due to the owner's retirement from flying, death, or the sale of the property for other purposes. Given that the land was immediately and fully converted back to agricultural use, an economic decision to prioritize farming is the most likely reason.
The site of the former airport has been entirely reclaimed for agriculture. Modern satellite imagery shows the land where the runway once existed is now an actively cultivated farm field, with no visible remnants of its past as an airfield. All associated infrastructure, such as hangars or markers, has been removed.
Innes Acres Airport was a small, privately owned turf airfield. It was likely established between 1973 and 1979. The airport featured a single north/south unpaved runway with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Its operations were characteristic of a private general aviation strip, serving the personal, recreational, or agricultural flying needs of its owner. It did not have commercial, scheduled, or significant military operations.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Innes Acres Airport. The land is privately owned and is currently in active use for farming. The lack of any remaining infrastructure and its integration into surrounding farmland make a return to aviation use extremely unlikely.
