The exact closure date is not documented in public records. However, based on the lack of visible helipad markings in historical satellite imagery dating back to the mid-1990s, it is presumed to have been closed and de-registered sometime before the year 2000.
The helistop was a private facility associated with the corporate building at 1 Eayrestown Road. The most probable reason for its closure was a change in ownership of the property or a decision by the operating company that helicopter transport was no longer required for its business operations. This type of closure is common for private corporate heliports when they are no longer economically viable or necessary.
The site of the former helistop is now fully integrated into the grounds of a large industrial and corporate facility. The specific coordinates point to the parking lot and surrounding property of the building currently occupied by Keystone Industries at 1 Eayrestown Road, Lumberton, NJ. There are no remaining physical traces of the helistop.
Eayrestown Helistop was a private use (PVT) facility with minimal public or historical significance. Its sole purpose was likely to serve the corporate entity located at 1 Eayrestown Road, providing convenient point-to-point air transport for executives or high-value cargo to and from regional centers like Philadelphia and New York City. It was not open to the public and did not handle scheduled flights or general aviation traffic.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Eayrestown Helistop. The land has been fully re-purposed for the commercial and logistical needs of the current tenant. Re-establishing a helistop would require significant investment, new FAA registration, and a demonstrated need from the property owner, none of which are anticipated.
