Bonnechere Airport

The exact reason for closure is not officially documented. However, given that it was a small, private airstrip, the most probable cause was personal or economic reasons concerning the owner. This could include the sale of the property, the owner ceasing flying activities, prohibitive costs of maintenance, or the owner's passing. The closure was not the result of a major accident, military conversion, or public policy decision.

The site of the former airport is completely abandoned and has been reclaimed by nature. The area where the single runway existed is now an overgrown field, with mature trees and dense brush covering the former landing surface. The land is privately owned and is used as a rural, wooded property. There are no remaining buildings, hangars, or any visible aviation infrastructure.

The airport identified by the non-official code 'CA-1111' was a private airstrip. Its historical significance is minimal and confined to local history. It likely served a single landowner or a small group for recreational flying or to provide air access to a private residence or business. It did not handle scheduled commercial flights, military operations, or significant general aviation traffic. It is important not to confuse this small, defunct strip with the nearby public airport, Killaloe/Bonnechere Airport (ICAO: CYXI), which continues to serve the region.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. The land is privately held, and the original runway is completely gone, requiring a total rebuild to be made operational. Given the lack of any apparent commercial or public demand and the proximity of the active Killaloe/Bonnechere Airport (CYXI), there is no economic or practical incentive for its revival.
