Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2009 and 2012. The airport was listed as active in aviation guides as late as 2007. However, satellite imagery from 2012 clearly shows large commercial greenhouses built directly across the center of the former runway, indicating it was permanently closed during that timeframe.

Reason for Closure

Economic reasons and land redevelopment. The airport was a private airstrip owned by the adjacent business, Sunrise Greenhouses Ltd. The company expanded its commercial greenhouse operations, building new, large structures directly on the land occupied by the runway. The closure was a direct result of the owner repurposing the land for their primary business.

Current Status

The site is now fully occupied by the large, operational Sunrise Greenhouses complex. The physical runway no longer exists, as the land has been completely redeveloped with industrial greenhouses and associated infrastructure. While faint outlines of the former straight path of the runway can be discerned from historical satellite imagery, the land is no longer recognizable or usable as an airfield.

Historical Significance

Tatamagouche Airport was a private, unregistered general aviation aerodrome. Its primary function was to serve the owners of Sunrise Greenhouses and potentially other local private pilots. According to aviation guides from the mid-2000s, it featured a single turf runway (designated 14/32) measuring approximately 2600 feet long by 100 feet wide. Its significance was purely local, supporting private flight operations in the Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia area before the land was reclaimed for agricultural expansion.

Reopening Prospects

Zero. There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been permanently and irreversibly redeveloped for a different commercial purpose, with significant capital infrastructure built directly on the former airport grounds, making any return to aviation use infeasible.
