Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2010 and 2012. The airport was listed as active in the Canada Flight Supplement as late as 2007 but began appearing as 'closed' in unofficial aviation databases and showing signs of disuse in satellite imagery from the early 2010s.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not publicly documented, as is common for small, private aerodromes. The closure was most likely due to a personal decision by the property owner, such as retirement from flying, sale of the land, or the cost and effort of maintenance no longer being viable. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to a major accident, regulatory action, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site has reverted to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows that the land where the runway was located is now a field, likely used for hay or as pasture. While the faint outline of the former grass runway is still visible from the air, it is overgrown, unmaintained, and unusable for any aviation purposes. The surrounding area remains active farmland.

Historical Significance

Chucker Farm Airport was a private, unregistered aerodrome serving the needs of its owner for general aviation. It featured a single turf runway (approximately 2600 ft long), suitable for a variety of light single-engine aircraft. Its operations were limited to private recreational or personal business flights. The name 'Chucker Farm' suggests a possible association with a game bird farm (Chukar partridge), and the airstrip may have supported that activity. Its historical significance is purely local, providing convenient air access for the farm's owner and invited guests.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Chucker Farm Airport. Given that it was a private facility that has been closed for over a decade and the land has been fully integrated back into agricultural operations, the likelihood of it being re-established as an airport is extremely low to non-existent.
