The exact closure date is not officially documented. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport fell into disuse and was gradually decommissioned over time. By the mid-2010s, the runway showed signs of disuse, and by the late 2010s, it had been fully reclaimed for agricultural purposes.
No official reason for the closure has been published. Given its location in a rural, agricultural area and the visual evidence of the land being converted into a cultivated field, the closure was almost certainly for economic and land-use reasons. It is common for small, private airstrips like this to be closed when the owner ceases flying operations, sells the property, or finds it more profitable to use the land for farming.
The airport is permanently closed and fully decommissioned. The site of the former runway and any associated facilities have been completely removed. Current satellite imagery shows the land has been integrated into the surrounding landscape and is actively used as a cultivated agricultural field. There are no visible remnants of the airport infrastructure.
The airport held no major national or regional historical significance. It was a small, private, and likely unregistered airstrip. Its primary function would have been to support local general aviation activities. This typically includes agricultural operations (crop dusting, spraying) for surrounding farms and potentially private recreational flights by the landowner or local pilots. It was not a public airport and did not handle scheduled commercial, cargo, or military traffic.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the New Brigden Northeast Airport. The land has been repurposed for agriculture, and re-establishing an airstrip would require significant private investment and a new operational purpose, for which there is no apparent demand.
