Antler Airport

The official reason for closure is not documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The most probable cause is a combination of economic factors and a change in land use. The owner may have sold the property, found the upkeep to be no longer financially viable, or simply ceased operations. The land was subsequently converted back to its primary regional use: agriculture.

The airport is permanently closed and has been decommissioned. The site where the runway was located is now an active agricultural field and is being farmed. On current satellite imagery, a very faint outline of the former runway is still discernible due to differences in soil compaction and vegetation, but it is no longer a functional landing surface.

Antler Airport was a small, private, and likely unregistered aerodrome with local significance. It served the rural community of Antler, Saskatchewan, primarily for general aviation purposes. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper) used for recreational flying and potentially agricultural services like crop dusting, a common activity in the prairie provinces. The airport featured a single north-south turf runway, approximately 2,300 feet in length, and operated under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). It was not a public airport and had no scheduled commercial services.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Antler Airport. The land has been repurposed for agriculture, and given the small population of the surrounding area, there is no apparent demand that would justify the cost and effort of re-establishing an airfield at this location.
