Undocumented. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport was closed and the land reverted to agriculture sometime before the mid-1990s.
No official reason is recorded. As a small private airstrip, the closure was most likely due to private circumstances, such as the owner's retirement from flying, the sale of the property, or for economic reasons. The land was subsequently converted back to full agricultural use.
The site is currently a cultivated farm field. Satellite imagery confirms there are no remaining traces of a runway, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure. The land is fully integrated into the surrounding agricultural operations.
Carver's Airport was a small, private airstrip located in Petrolia, Ontario, Canada. It held no major historical significance and was likely an unregistered or uncertified field used for personal, recreational general aviation by its owner. It does not appear in official historical Canadian Flight Supplements. Operations would have been limited to light aircraft, likely from a single grass runway. The identifier 'CA-0863' is not an official ICAO code but a designation from a non-governmental aviation database.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land is privately owned and actively farmed, making any future conversion back to an aviation facility extremely unlikely.
