Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is not publicly recorded, but FAA records indicate the heliport was permanently closed by 2006. It is estimated to have been closed in the early 2000s.

Reason for Closure

The closure was for economic and operational reasons. The heliport was privately owned and operated by The CIT Group for their corporate office at this location. The facility was likely decommissioned as a cost-saving measure during corporate restructuring or following the relocation of the executives who utilized it. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to its closure.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport has been fully reabsorbed into the commercial property it once served. The coordinates point to the parking lot and grounds of the office building at 115 West Century Road in Paramus. There are no visible remnants of the helipad or any associated aviation infrastructure. The building continues to operate as commercial office space for various tenants.

Historical Significance

Lag's Landing Heliport (FAA Identifier: NJ95) was a private-use heliport serving the corporate headquarters of its owner, The CIT Group, at 115 West Century Road. Its sole purpose was to handle executive helicopter transport, allowing key personnel to travel efficiently between Paramus, New York City, and regional airports, bypassing significant ground traffic. The heliport is representative of the corporate aviation infrastructure built during the 1980s and 1990s when large companies in suburban office parks frequently used helicopters for business travel.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Lag's Landing Heliport. The original justification for the heliport was tied to its specific corporate owner (The CIT Group), which has since undergone major changes and relocated relevant operations. Re-establishing a heliport at this location would require a new, lengthy approval process by the current property owners and the FAA, which is considered highly improbable.
