The airport was officially delisted from the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) and considered closed sometime between 2006 and 2013. An exact public record of the closure date is unavailable, but it likely ceased private operations in the late 2000s.
Glendon Airport was a privately registered aerodrome. While no single official reason is documented, the closure is consistent with common reasons for small, private airfields. These typically include economic factors, such as the high cost of maintenance, liability, and insurance, or a change in land use. Given that the site has fully reverted to agricultural use, it is most likely that the private owner decided to cease aviation operations and repurpose the land for farming.
The airport is permanently closed and has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Satellite imagery of the location confirms that the site is now an active farm field. The faint outline of the former east-west runway can still be discerned within the cultivated land, but all associated airport infrastructure, such as markers or buildings, has been removed.
Glendon Airport was a small general aviation airfield serving the local community. Its infrastructure consisted of a single turf runway, designated 08/26, with dimensions of approximately 2600 feet by 100 feet. Its historical significance was local, providing a base for private pilots for recreational flying. It may have also supported agricultural operations, such as crop dusting, which is prevalent in the region. The airport was not intended for commercial or military use and did not handle scheduled passenger traffic.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Glendon Airport. The land is privately owned and is currently in use for agriculture. The lack of any remaining infrastructure, combined with the proximity of larger, publicly accessible airports with superior facilities like Bonnyville Airport (CYBF) and St. Paul Airport (CEW3), means there is no practical or economic incentive for its revival.
