Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not publicly documented. Based on its presence in airport databases and analysis of historical satellite imagery, the airfield was active in the 1990s and early 2000s. It appears to have fallen into disuse and ceased operations sometime after the mid-2000s, likely gradually rather than on a specific date. It is now officially listed as 'closed' in various non-governmental aviation databases.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for the closure is unknown, which is common for small, privately-owned airfields. Such closures are typically not officially reported. Plausible reasons include the owner selling the property, a loss of interest in aviation, the prohibitive cost of maintenance and insurance, or the owner's retirement or death. There is no public record of it closing due to an accident, environmental issues, or conversion to military use.

Current Status

The site is now private residential and agricultural land. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (42.293098, -78.790001) shows the former grass runway is now a large, mowed field or lawn adjacent to a private home. While the clearing that formed the runway is still clearly visible, it is no longer maintained or marked as an active airstrip and has been integrated into the surrounding property.

Historical Significance

The 'Ultralight Port Ultralightport' was a private-use airfield dedicated exclusively to recreational flying, specifically for ultralight aircraft as its name indicates. Its significance was entirely local, serving as a base for one or more enthusiasts in the Little Valley area. Operations would have consisted of a single, unpaved grass runway (approximately 1,800 feet long, oriented North-South). It would not have had services like fuel, a control tower, or hangars for public use, and it did not handle any commercial, cargo, or significant general aviation traffic. It was a classic example of a personal, hobbyist airstrip.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen this airfield. As the land is privately owned and appears to be used for residential and personal purposes, the prospect of it reopening as an airport is extremely low. Re-establishing aviation operations would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner and is considered highly unlikely.
