Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was closed sometime between 1998 and 2003. The last known depiction of Hall Airport on a Dallas-Fort Worth Sectional Chart was in 1998. By the time the 2003 chart was published, the airport was no longer listed.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately-owned airfield, closure was most likely due to a private decision by the owner. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner's retirement or death, rising liability insurance costs, or the land being repurposed for more profitable use like agriculture or development. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.

Current Status

The site is now private, rural property. As of the latest satellite imagery, the faint outline of the north-south turf runway is still visible in the landscape. However, the land appears to be used for agricultural purposes, such as a pasture for grazing. A private road or driveway now cuts across the southern end of the former runway. The buildings that were likely associated with the airport, possibly a hangar and residence, still exist on the property as private structures.

Historical Significance

Hall Airport (formerly assigned the FAA identifier T30) was a small, private general aviation airfield. It was established between 1971 and 1979 and was owned by W.D. Hall. The airport's operations were minimal and restricted to private use, as noted in aviation directories with the remark 'Use at own risk.' It featured a single 2,600-foot unpaved turf runway, designated 17/35. Its significance was limited to serving the personal aviation needs of its owner and associates, typical of many private airstrips found in rural America. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or significant military operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Hall Airport. The land is privately held and has been partially altered for agricultural and residential use. Re-establishing an airport on the site would be cost-prohibitive and require the initiative of the current landowner, making it highly unlikely.
