Tejon Agricultural Airport

Economic and land development reasons. The owner, the Tejon Ranch Company, repurposed the land for more modern and efficient agricultural use. The area of the former runway was converted into large, circular fields utilizing center-pivot irrigation, a change that made the small, private airstrip obsolete and incompatible with the new land use plan.

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped for agricultural purposes. The land is now occupied by large, actively cultivated fields using center-pivot irrigation systems. There are no visible remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure.

Tejon Agricultural Airport was a private airfield owned and operated by the Tejon Ranch Company. Its primary purpose was to support agricultural aviation operations (crop dusting) for the vast farming interests on the Tejon Ranch. First appearing on aeronautical charts in the mid-1960s, it featured a single unpaved, 3,000-foot northwest/southeast runway. It served as a crucial base for aircraft that serviced the various crops grown on the ranch for several decades, representing a common type of private, special-purpose airfield that supported large-scale American agriculture in the mid-20th century.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Tejon Agricultural Airport. The land has been permanently and fundamentally altered for modern agricultural use, making any potential restoration of the airfield infeasible and economically impractical.
