Devon Camp Airport

Economic and logistical reasons following a change in asset ownership. In June 2019, Devon Energy sold its entire Canadian business, including the Horn River operations and the associated camp/airstrip, to Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL). The closure of the airport was a direct result of this transition, as the new owner likely consolidated air logistics with other existing facilities or deemed the airport redundant for their operational needs.

The airport is permanently closed and decommissioned. The runway, taxiway, and apron remain physically intact but are clearly marked with large 'X's, prohibiting any aircraft from landing. The site, along with the adjacent gas plant and camp facilities, is private property owned and managed by Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL). It is not used for any public or aviation-related purpose.

Devon Camp Airport was a modern, private aerodrome built and operated by Devon Canada Corporation. Its sole purpose was to support the company's large-scale natural gas exploration and production activities in the remote Horn River Basin. It was a critical piece of infrastructure for a major fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) operation, used to transport thousands of workers, executives, technicians, and time-sensitive cargo. The well-constructed, paved 6,000-foot runway was capable of handling substantial turboprop aircraft (like the De Havilland Dash 8) and corporate jets, highlighting the significant investment Devon made to develop the shale gas resources in the region.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. As a private industrial airstrip tied to a specific corporate operation, its reactivation is highly improbable. The current owner has established its own logistical network for the area, which does not include the use of this airstrip. It is considered a permanently decommissioned asset.
