Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was closed between 1995 and 1998. Analysis of historical aerial imagery shows a clear, operational turf runway in 1995. By 1998, imagery shows the land being actively redeveloped with roads and initial construction, indicating the airport had ceased operations by then.

Reason for Closure

Economic reasons, specifically the sale of the airport land for lucrative real estate development. As the town of Addis expanded, the property's value for residential and commercial use surpassed its value as a private airfield, leading to its sale and subsequent redevelopment.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped and is unrecognizable as an aviation facility. The land is now occupied by the Sugar Mill Plantation residential subdivision, Addis Middle School, and commercial properties fronting Louisiana Highway 1. There are no physical remnants of the runway, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Daniel Airport was a small, privately owned and operated airfield. It was listed as being owned by J.B. Daniel. The facility consisted of a single turf runway, designated 18/36, with a length of approximately 2,000 feet. It primarily served the general aviation community, catering to light aircraft for personal and recreational flying. Its significance was local, providing a base for its owner and possibly other nearby pilots.

Reopening Prospects

Zero. There are no plans or prospects for reopening Daniel Airport. The original location has been permanently and fully converted to dense residential and commercial use, making it impossible to re-establish an airfield on the site.

The FAA uses "LA03" on a different airport.
