Estimated to be between the late 1990s and early 2000s. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the airfield was still distinct in the early 1990s but had been fully plowed over for farming by the mid-2000s.
Economic reasons. Like many small, private airstrips in rural areas, it was likely closed due to declining use, high maintenance costs, or the owner's decision to repurpose the land. The site was converted back into valuable agricultural land, which is its current and more economically productive use.
The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The site has been fully reclaimed for agricultural use and is part of a larger cultivated field. The faint outlines of the two former unpaved runways, arranged in an 'X' pattern, can still be discerned in satellite photos as crop marks or variations in soil color, but no buildings, hangars, or other airport infrastructure remain.
Sedalia Northeast Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. Its primary role was to serve the local agricultural community and private pilots in the rural area around Sedalia, Alberta. Operations would have consisted of light single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessnas, Pipers) for recreational flying and potentially agricultural aviation (crop dusting). It held no major military or commercial significance and was a local-use facility.
There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land is privately owned and actively farmed. The small population of the surrounding area cannot support an airport, and nearby towns like Hanna (CYYC) and Oyen (CEO8) have registered aerodromes that serve the region's aviation needs.
