Buffalo Aerodrome

The aerodrome was a small, private airstrip. While the specific reason is not officially documented, closures of such facilities are typically due to economic factors. This can include the owner no longer requiring it for aviation, the high cost of maintenance and insurance, the sale of the property, or a decision to repurpose the land. Given that the site has been returned to agricultural use, it is most likely that the land was converted back to farming by the owner.

The site has been fully decommissioned and reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (50.809786, -110.685482) shows a cultivated farm field. A faint, discolored outline of the former north-south runway is still visible from the air, but it is overgrown and crossed by plow lines, confirming it is no longer in service. There are no remaining hangars, terminal buildings, or any other airport infrastructure on the site.

Buffalo Aerodrome was a minor, private airstrip with local-only significance. It did not support commercial passenger services, military operations, or significant cargo transport. Its operations would have been limited to light, general aviation aircraft. The primary purpose was likely for the private use of the landowner for recreational flying, personal transportation to a remote rural property, and potentially for agricultural aviation support such as crop dusting in the surrounding farmland.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Buffalo Aerodrome. The land is privately owned and is actively being farmed. Re-establishing an aerodrome would require significant private investment and regulatory approval from Transport Canada. Given the lack of any apparent commercial or public demand and the existence of other small airports in the wider region, its reactivation is highly improbable.
