The airport closed sometime between 1994 and 2004. It was depicted on the 1994 Detroit Sectional Chart but was no longer present on the 2004 edition. Aerial imagery from the early 2000s shows the runway becoming less distinct, suggesting a gradual cessation of operations during that period.
While no official reason is documented, the closure is characteristic of small, privately-owned airfields. It was likely a private decision by the owner, Donald Hull, possibly due to economic factors, retirement, or the land being more valuable for agriculture. The subsequent conversion of the site back into a farm field supports this conclusion.
The site of the former Hull Airport has been completely reclaimed for agricultural use. All airport infrastructure, including the grass runway, hangars, and any other buildings, has been removed. The land is now an active farm field, and there are no visible remnants of its past as an airfield.
Hull Airport was a small, private-use general aviation airfield. Its significance was local, serving its owner and likely a few other pilots in the area for recreational flying. First listed in aviation directories in the early 1970s, it featured a single 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway, designated Runway 9/27. Operations were limited to light, single-engine aircraft. It had no commercial, military, or significant industrial role.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Hull Airport. The land has been fully converted to another use, and the original aviation infrastructure no longer exists, making a revival highly improbable.
