Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2004-2005

Reason for Closure

The airport was closed due to real estate development. The land, located in a rapidly growing area of North Fort Myers, became more valuable for residential use. The airfield was sold to developers and subsequently replaced by a housing community.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped. It is now a residential subdivision named 'The Landings at Bayshore'. The former runway and airfield grounds are now occupied by single-family homes, streets (such as Landing View Road and Eagle Talon Court), and retention ponds. There are no visible remnants of the airport infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Eagle's Landing Airport (formerly FAA LID: FA54) was a privately owned, private-use general aviation airfield. It was established sometime between 1980 and 1994. The airport featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet long, oriented in a NNE/SSW direction (approximately 02/20). It served local recreational pilots and their small, single-engine aircraft. As a private field, operations were restricted and required prior permission from the owner. It was never a commercial or military facility and held no major historical significance beyond serving as a local hub for a small number of aviation enthusiasts before the area's residential boom.

Reopening Prospects

There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been fully and permanently converted to high-density residential use, making a return to aviation operations impossible.
