The exact date of closure is not officially documented in public records. However, the airport was likely de-registered and ceased official operations in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Small, private aerodromes often fall into disuse gradually before being officially closed.
Economic reasons and declining use. Like many small, rural airports across Canada, Hartney Airport likely succumbed to the high costs of maintenance, insurance, and regulatory compliance, coupled with a diminishing number of local pilots and aircraft to support its operation. There is no evidence of a specific incident, accident, or military conversion leading to its closure.
The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists as an aviation facility. Satellite imagery of the coordinates reveals that the land has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The faint outline of the former turf runway can still be discerned within a cultivated farm field, but there are no remaining hangars, windsock bases, or other airport infrastructure on the site.
Hartney Airport was a registered private or local municipal aerodrome that served the town of Hartney, Manitoba, and the surrounding agricultural region. Its primary role was to support general aviation. This would have included recreational flying for local pilots, a potential base for agricultural aircraft (crop dusters), and providing air access for business or private travel to a rural community. It was a local asset rather than an airport of major regional or national significance.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Hartney Airport. The land has been repurposed, and the economic viability for a new airport in this specific location is extremely low, especially with larger, full-service airports like Brandon Municipal Airport (CYBR) located approximately 60 km to the northeast.
