Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately late 2020. The heliport was privately owned and operated by John 'Johnny' Voudouris, who passed away in November 2020. It is presumed that official operations ceased around this time.

Reason for Closure

The heliport was a private facility for personal use. Its closure is directly attributed to the death of its owner and sole operator, Johnny Voudouris. Without the owner, who used the helicopter for personal transport, the facility no longer had a purpose and became defunct.

Current Status

The site remains a private residential estate. The physical infrastructure of the heliport, a large circular concrete helipad, is still extant and visible on the property's grounds. However, it is no longer registered or used for aviation purposes and appears unmaintained.

Historical Significance

The Johnny Voudouris Heliport was a private heliport located at the owner's residential property in the Oak Hill area of Austin. Its owner, Johnny Voudouris, was a prominent local businessman and restaurateur, known for co-founding the popular 'Shoreline Grill' in downtown Austin. The heliport was primarily used by Voudouris for personal transportation, allowing him to commute from his home to his businesses. The operation was notable enough to cause some local controversy in the mid-1990s due to noise complaints from neighbors, as documented in local news reports. It handled operations for a single, privately-owned helicopter.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. As it is located on private residential property, any potential reactivation would be solely at the discretion of the current landowners and would require re-registration with the FAA and compliance with local ordinances. It is highly unlikely to ever be reopened as a public or commercial facility.
