Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not officially documented. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airstrip was maintained and appeared active until at least 2015. By 2018, the runways were visibly overgrown and being reclaimed by the surrounding farmland. Therefore, the airport ceased operations and was permanently closed sometime between 2015 and 2018.

Reason for Closure

As a private aerodrome, the closure was not due to public economic factors, military conversion, or a major accident. The most probable reason is a change in the private owner's circumstances, such as the owner's retirement from flying, sale of the property, or the owner's passing. The airstrip simply fell into disuse and was subsequently converted back to agricultural land.

Current Status

The site is no longer an airport. It has been fully returned to agricultural use and is actively cultivated as part of the surrounding farm. The land where the runways were located is now a planted field. While the faint outlines of the former runways are still slightly visible in some satellite images due to historical soil compaction, there are no remaining aviation facilities such as hangars, markings, or equipment.

Historical Significance

Anderson Airport was a private aerodrome located in a rural area northeast of St. Marys, Ontario, Canada. Note: The location is in Ontario, Canada, not St. Marys, California, USA. The identifier 'CA-0864' is a non-standard identifier, likely from a third-party or outdated aviation database, and is not an official ICAO code. The airport held no major public or historical significance; it was not a commercial or military facility. Its purpose was to serve the private aviation needs of the property owner, likely for recreational flying. Operations would have been limited to small, single-engine, general aviation aircraft capable of landing on turf. Satellite imagery from when it was active shows it consisted of two grass runways arranged in a crosswind pattern to allow for takeoffs and landings in different wind conditions.

Reopening Prospects

There are no plans or prospects for reopening Anderson Airport. The land has been fully reclaimed for agriculture, which is its current and likely permanent use. Given the private nature of the former strip and the proximity of the public St. Marys Municipal Airport (CNK4) just a few kilometers away, there is no practical or economic driver for re-establishing an airport at this location. Reopening is considered highly improbable.
