Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was de-listed from official VFR Navigation Charts (VNCs) between 1993 and 2003. This indicates the airstrip was officially closed to air traffic sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s. An exact date is not publicly documented.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially recorded, which is common for small, privately-owned airfields. The closure was most likely due to a private ownership decision based on economic factors. Reasons typically include the high cost of maintenance, insurance liability, the owner's retirement, or the desire to sell or repurpose the land for a more profitable use like agriculture. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, government action, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site is currently private property and is used as agricultural land. When viewed from satellite imagery, the faint but clear outline of the former 2,600-foot runway is still visible as a distinct line in the farm field. There are no remaining airport structures like hangars or terminal buildings. A large solar farm has been constructed on the adjacent property immediately to the west.

Historical Significance

Stevensville Airstrip was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its primary function was to serve local pilots for recreational flying. It featured a single unpaved runway, likely turf or gravel, with a length of approximately 2,600 feet, oriented in a northwest/southeast direction. The airfield would have handled light, single-engine aircraft such as Cessnas, Pipers, and similar models. It held no known commercial or military significance and was a local asset for the Niagara region's general aviation community.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Stevensville Airstrip. The land is privately owned and integrated into agricultural operations. Given the availability of other established airports in the Niagara Region (such as Niagara District Airport and Welland/Niagara Central Airport) and the land's current use, a return to aviation operations is considered extremely unlikely.
