St-Tite Airport

Change of Land Use / Private Decision. The airport was a private airstrip, and its closure was the result of the owner ceasing aviation operations. The land was subsequently converted back to full-time agricultural use. This was not due to military conversion, a major accident, or urban encroachment, but rather a private decision to repurpose the land.

The site has been fully converted back to agricultural land. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates (46.7156, -72.58702) shows the area is actively being farmed. While the faint, linear outline of the former runway is still discernible from the air, the ground has been plowed over and is used for cultivation. There are no remaining signs of airport infrastructure such as hangars, markers, or buildings.

St-Tite Airport was a small, private general aviation aerodrome. It consisted of a single turf runway (approximately 2,500 feet) and had minimal to no permanent infrastructure. Its operations were limited to recreational flying by the owner and likely other local pilots with permission. It served as a local convenience for private pilots in the Mauricie region of Quebec and did not support any commercial, scheduled, or military traffic. Its significance was purely at the local, private aviation level.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land is privately owned and has been fully reclaimed for agriculture, the likelihood of it being converted back into an airstrip is virtually zero. Reopening would require a significant private investment and a reversal of the current land use, for which there is no public indication or demand.
