St. Lina Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially recorded. As a small, private aerodrome in a rural area, the closure was almost certainly due to private circumstances rather than a public mandate. Common reasons for such closures include a change in land ownership, the owner ceasing aviation activities due to age or cost, or the land being repurposed. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The physical airstrip, a single grass/dirt runway, still exists and is visible on satellite imagery. The site is private property and is no longer a registered or maintained aerodrome. It is not available for public use. The surrounding land is used for agricultural and rural residential purposes, and the former runway is now simply an open field feature.

St. Lina Airport was a small, private aerodrome with local, rather than national, significance. Its primary role was to support general aviation in a remote rural area. Operations would have included private recreational flying, agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting for surrounding farms), and potentially providing a landing site for small charter aircraft or emergency services. It did not handle scheduled commercial flights or have significant infrastructure.

There are no known or published plans to reopen St. Lina Airport. Re-establishing it as a registered aerodrome would require significant private investment and initiative from the current landowner to meet Transport Canada standards. Given the small population of the surrounding area and the availability of other airports in the region (like St. Paul Airport, CYSP), reopening is considered highly improbable.
