Approximately 1987-1988. Analysis of historical aerial photography shows the airport was operational in the early 1980s but had been completely removed and was undergoing redevelopment by 1991.
Urban encroachment and economic redevelopment. As the city of Sainte-Foy (now a borough of Quebec City) expanded, the land occupied by the airfield became highly valuable. It was sold to developers and rezoned for industrial use to create the Saint-Louis Industrial Park.
The site has been completely redeveloped into the 'Parc industriel Saint-Louis' (Saint-Louis Industrial Park). There are no physical remains of the runway, hangars, or other airport facilities. The airport's legacy is preserved in the local street names: 'Rue de l'Aéroport' (Airport Street) follows the approximate alignment of the former runway, and a nearby cross street is named 'Rue de la Piste' (Runway Street).
Aérodrome Saint-Louis was a private general aviation airport that served the Quebec City area for several decades, likely opening in the 1950s or early 1960s. It was a key facility for recreational flying, flight training, and private aircraft owners. The airport was home to the 'Club Aéronautique Frontenac' and operated a single, unpaved (turf or gravel) runway, approximately 2,600 feet long. It played an important role in the local aviation community before the growth of the city made its operation unsustainable.
None. The land is fully developed with numerous commercial and industrial buildings, warehouses, and infrastructure. The complete and dense redevelopment of the site makes any prospect of reopening as an airport impossible.
