Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2010 and 2012. The heliport was listed as active in the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) in 2009 but was subsequently delisted. By 2012, it no longer appeared in official publications, indicating its official closure within that timeframe.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not publicly documented. However, given that it was a private facility named 'Hicks Heliport', the closure was almost certainly due to the personal circumstances of the owner. Common reasons for such closures include the owner selling the property, ceasing to own or operate a helicopter, or the owner passing away. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was related to an accident, broader economic reasons, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site at coordinates 49.108781, -122.480052 is now a private rural estate. Satellite imagery shows a large residential home with several large outbuildings and workshops on a well-manicured property. There are no longer any visible markings (such as a painted 'H') or infrastructure that would identify it as an active heliport. The former landing area appears to be integrated into the property's lawn and gravel driveways.

Historical Significance

The heliport's significance was purely local and private. It was a registered private aerodrome (PPR - Prior Permission Required), meaning it was not open for public use. Its operations were limited to the helicopter(s) owned or used by the property owner, identified as 'Hicks'. The purpose was likely for private transportation or to support a personal business venture. It served as a convenient, on-site base of operations, bypassing the need to use larger public airports like Langley (CYNJ) or Abbotsford (CYXX).

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or public prospects for reopening the Aldergrove (Hicks) Heliport. Since the facility was private and located on private residential land, any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the current or future landowner's desire to operate a helicopter from the site and their ability to meet Transport Canada's regulatory requirements for establishing a registered heliport. Given that it has been decommissioned for over a decade, the likelihood of it reopening is extremely low.
