Approximately between 2010 and 2015. The exact date is unknown as it was a private airstrip and no formal closure notice was published. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a clearly maintained runway in 2009, but it appears significantly overgrown and unusable by 2015.
Abandonment by its private owner. While the specific reason is not officially documented, the closure of small, private airstrips like this is typically due to economic factors (the cost of maintenance, insurance, and taxes becoming prohibitive), a change in land ownership, or the owner ceasing aviation activities.
The airport is permanently closed and abandoned. The site, visible on satellite imagery at the specified coordinates, shows a clearly defined but completely overgrown runway. The land is unusable for aviation and is reverting to a natural field. There are no remaining airport infrastructure, such as hangars, terminals, or fueling services, on the site.
Sainte-Lucie-de-Beauregard Airport was a private, unpaved (turf or gravel) airstrip. It never handled scheduled commercial flights or military operations. Its runway was approximately 2,500 feet (762 meters) long. According to regional planning documents from the late 2000s, its primary purpose was to support general aviation for recreational and tourism activities. It likely served private pilots flying small, single-engine aircraft to access the rural Chaudière-Appalaches region for leisure, hunting, or visiting local properties.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Re-establishing the airstrip would require significant private investment to clear the land, regrade and resurface the runway, and comply with any current Transport Canada regulations. Given its long period of disuse and the lack of apparent demand, a reopening is considered highly improbable.
