Union Centre Airport

The airport was a privately owned airstrip. While no official reason was published, the closure is almost certainly due to private circumstances. Common reasons for the closure of such small, general aviation fields include the sale of the property, the owner no longer wishing to bear the cost and liability of operations, or the owner's retirement or death. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic factors.

The site of the former airport is now private land. Satellite imagery clearly shows the remnants of a grass runway, which is now overgrown and unmaintained. The land appears to be used for light agriculture or is simply fallow. The airport is definitively and permanently closed, with no remaining aviation infrastructure in operational condition.

Union Centre Airport was a small, private grass airstrip that served the local general aviation community in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. Its operations were limited to recreational flying, primarily for light, single-engine aircraft owned by local pilots. It did not support commercial, scheduled, or military traffic. Its significance was purely local, providing a convenient base for a small number of aviation enthusiasts in the region.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Union Centre Airport. The land is privately owned, and the airstrip has been decommissioned for nearly two decades. Re-establishing an airport on the site would require significant private investment, landowner agreement, and a new certification process with Transport Canada and Nav Canada, making it highly improbable.
