St-Gabriel-De-Brandon Airport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented, but evidence points strongly to economic factors and a change in land use. The aerodrome was operated by a private entity, 'Aéro-Loisirs St-Gabriel Inc.' (St. Gabriel Aero-Leisure Inc.). The closure is consistent with common challenges faced by small, private general aviation airfields, such as rising operational costs, declining membership, high insurance premiums, or the owner's decision to sell the land. The subsequent construction of a private residence on the property confirms the land was repurposed, ruling out a temporary shutdown.

The site is no longer an airport. Based on current satellite imagery, the land has been converted for private residential and agricultural use. A large, modern private home has been constructed at the southeastern end of the former runway. The runway's distinct outline is still clearly visible, but it has been repurposed into a long private laneway providing access to this residence and the surrounding fields. All associated aviation infrastructure, such as hangars or service buildings, has been removed.

St-Gabriel-De-Brandon Airport, officially identified by Transport Canada as CSG2 (the ICAO code CA-0350 is a non-official identifier used by some third-party databases), was a private aerodrome serving the general aviation community in the Lanaudière region of Quebec. Its primary role was recreational flying, as suggested by its operator's name. It featured a single gravel runway (14/32) measuring approximately 2500 feet long by 75 feet wide. The airport provided a base for local pilots with small, single-engine aircraft and possibly ultralights, contributing to the local aviation infrastructure. Its significance was primarily local, offering a convenient flying facility for hobbyists and private pilots in the area.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The construction of a permanent private residence directly on the former airport grounds makes a future return to aviation operations virtually impossible. The land is privately owned and has been fully repurposed, permanently ending its use as an aerodrome.
