Netley Field

The specific reason is not publicly documented, which is typical for a small, private airfield. However, the most likely reason is a private decision by the owner for economic purposes. The land was reverted to agricultural use, suggesting that the value and utility of the land for farming surpassed its value as a private airstrip. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site of the former Netley Field has been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows a farmer's field where the runway once was. The faint outline of the former turf runway is still visible from the air due to differences in soil compaction and drainage, but the land is actively cultivated for crops. All associated airport infrastructure, such as any potential sheds or markers, has been removed.

Netley Field was a small, private aerodrome serving general aviation. It featured a single turf runway, estimated to be between 2,400 and 2,600 feet long, oriented in a northwest-southeast direction. Its operations were limited to private recreational flying and potentially agricultural support (like crop dusting), which is common in this region of Manitoba. The identifier CA-0734 was a private aerodrome location identifier assigned by Nav Canada, not a formal ICAO code for a public airport. It held no major historical significance and did not support commercial or scheduled flights.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Netley Field. The land is privately owned and has been fully integrated into the surrounding farmland. Re-establishing an aerodrome on the site would require significant effort to purchase and re-certify the land, making it economically and logistically unfeasible. Its reopening is considered highly improbable.
