Covey Hill Airport

The closure was a result of a private ownership decision, likely driven by economic and personal factors. The airport was a privately owned and maintained facility that was put up for sale for several years. The inability to find a buyer to continue its operation as an airfield, combined with the high costs and liability of maintaining an airport, likely led the owner to close it and repurpose the land.

The site is currently private property and is no longer used for aviation. The physical asphalt runway remains visible but is in a state of disrepair and is permanently closed, as indicated by the large 'X' markings at both ends. The runway is now used for parking vehicles and equipment. The hangar and the associated residential house are still on the property, which is used for residential and likely agricultural or private storage purposes.

Covey Hill Airport was a small, privately owned aerodrome serving the general aviation community. It was not a public airport and handled no commercial or military operations. Its primary role was for recreational flying by its owner and possibly other local pilots. The facility featured a single paved runway (06/24) approximately 2,500 feet long, a hangar, and an adjacent private residence. Its location is notable for being less than one mile from the Canada-U.S. border (Quebec-New York). The identifier 'CA-0100' was a Transport Canada identifier for a private, unregistered aerodrome, not an official ICAO code, highlighting its private, non-commercial nature.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Covey Hill Airport. The land is privately owned and used for non-aviation purposes. Re-establishing it as an airport would require significant private investment to resurface the runway, meet modern regulatory standards, and obtain new approvals from Transport Canada. Given the general trend of small private airfields closing due to economic pressures, the likelihood of Covey Hill reopening is extremely low.
