Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2007-2009. The aerodrome was listed as active in the 2006 Canada Flight Supplement but was delisted in subsequent editions, indicating it was officially closed during that period.

Reason for Closure

Decommissioned by its private owner. Hopewell Airport was a registered private aerodrome, and its operation was solely dependent on the owner's desire and ability to maintain it. The closure was not due to a specific accident or economic failure of a public facility, but rather the common scenario where a private owner ceases aviation activities, sells the land, or no longer maintains the strip to Transport Canada standards.

Current Status

The site is currently disused private land. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates (45.474036, -62.716645) clearly shows the faint outline of the former runway, which is now completely overgrown with grass and shrubs. The land appears to be reverting to a natural field or pasture. There are no remaining airport facilities like hangars or markings, and no signs of any aviation-related activity.

Historical Significance

Hopewell Airport was a small, private aerodrome with significance limited to local general aviation. It featured a single turf runway (10/28) approximately 2600 feet long and 75 feet wide. According to aviation supplements from when it was active, the operator was a private individual ('D. Macleod'). The aerodrome would have been used for recreational flying and personal transport, handling light, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas or Pipers. It had no known commercial, industrial, or military role.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or public prospects for reopening Hopewell Airport. As a small, privately owned strip that has been decommissioned for over a decade, any potential reopening would be entirely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. Given the overgrown state of the site and the lack of any apparent demand, reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
