Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is unknown as the airport was a private, unregistered airstrip. Analysis of historical satellite imagery suggests it was clearly active in the early 2000s but shows a gradual decline in maintenance and use thereafter. It is not listed in any current Canadian Flight Supplement, indicating it has been officially de-listed or was never registered, and has been defunct for over a decade.

Reason for Closure

As a private farm strip, the closure was almost certainly for private reasons. Common factors for such closures include the owner no longer being an active pilot, the sale of the property to a non-aviator, prohibitive costs of insurance and maintenance, or simply a lack of use. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, economic downturn affecting a commercial operation, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site of the former airport is now fully integrated into the surrounding agricultural land. Satellite imagery shows the area is used as a hayfield or pasture. The faint, overgrown outline of the former north-south runway is still visible from the air, but it is no longer maintained or suitable for aircraft operations. There is no remaining airport infrastructure such as hangars, windsock, or markings.

Historical Significance

Bjorgum Farm Airport was a private grass airstrip serving the needs of the farm's owner. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation, likely for personal/recreational travel and potentially agricultural purposes (e.g., crop surveying). It held no public, commercial, or military significance. The identifier 'CA-1033' is not an official ICAO or Transport Canada designation; it is a custom identifier likely assigned by a non-governmental mapping service, GPS database, or flight simulator software.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Bjorgum Farm Airport. Since the land is privately owned and actively farmed, reopening it as an airstrip would be entirely at the discretion of the current landowner and is considered highly unlikely.
