The exact date of closure is not officially documented in public records, but analysis of historical satellite imagery suggests the airport ceased operations and was de-registered sometime between 2009 and 2011. Imagery from 2009 shows a defined runway, while by 2011, the land appears to have been fully converted for agricultural use.
The closure was almost certainly due to economic factors. Small, rural aerodromes like Redvers often struggle with high maintenance costs relative to their low volume of traffic. With limited funding and use, it is common for such private or small municipal airfields to be closed. The land, being prime prairie farmland, was more valuable for agriculture than for maintaining an underutilized airstrip.
The site of the former airport has been completely reclaimed and is now used as active agricultural land. There are no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or any associated airport infrastructure like hangars or windsocks. The area is now an indistinguishable part of a larger cultivated farm field.
Redvers Airport was a small, local aerodrome serving the general aviation needs of the town of Redvers and the surrounding Rural Municipality of Antler No. 61 in Saskatchewan. It featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,700 feet in length. Its operations were limited to light aircraft for private and recreational flying, agricultural aviation (crop dusting), and potentially occasional use by charter flights or air ambulance services. It was a local transportation asset but held no major commercial or military significance.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Redvers Airport. The land has been fully integrated into a farm, and the economic and operational challenges that led to its closure likely remain. Re-establishing an airport would require significant investment, land acquisition, and new construction, for which there is no apparent demand.
