Nobleton Airport

Economic factors driven by urban sprawl. The airport was a privately owned, family-run operation on land that became extremely valuable as the Greater Toronto Area expanded northward. The property was sold to real estate developers for the construction of a large residential housing subdivision.

The site has been completely redeveloped and is no longer recognizable as an airport. It is now a large, high-end residential housing subdivision, with developments known by names like 'The Castles of King'. The former runway, taxiways, and hangar areas are now covered with suburban streets, single-family homes, and parks. In a nod to the site's history, one of the streets in the new development is named 'Gapper Drive' after the family that owned and operated the aerodrome for many years.

Nobleton Aerodrome, which operated under the Transport Canada Location Identifier (TC LID) CNT2, was a cherished general aviation airfield. It was a private, registered aerodrome that was open to the public with prior permission. It featured a single, well-maintained 2,640-foot turf runway (16/34) and several hangars. For decades, it served as a hub for local pilots, flight training, and the Nobleton Flying Club. The airport was known for its friendly, 'grassroots aviation' atmosphere, catering primarily to light single-engine aircraft (like Cessnas and Pipers) and ultralights. It represented a classic, small-town Canadian airfield.

Zero. The prospect of reopening is non-existent as the land has been permanently and irreversibly converted to a high-density residential use. All aviation infrastructure has been removed, and the area is fully integrated into the town of Nobleton.
