Perth Airport

The airport was a privately owned airpark. The owner sold the property in 2016 to a new private owner who had no intention of continuing airport operations, leading to its closure for economic and land-use change reasons.

The site is now private property and is no longer used for aviation. The former runway, while still visible in satellite imagery, is unmaintained and has been deliberately obstructed with large objects, such as hay bales or shipping containers, to prevent its use by aircraft. The land is reportedly being used for agricultural purposes (hay farming) and private storage by the current owner.

The airport was officially known as Perth/Rideau Valley Airpark or Perth Aerodrome, with the former Transport Canada Location Identifier CPL3. The identifier CA-1191 provided in the query is not a standard ICAO code and may be an internal designator from a specific database. The airport served the general aviation community of Perth, Ontario, and the surrounding Rideau Valley region. It featured a single 3,000-foot turf runway (oriented 06/24) and was a popular destination for private pilots, recreational flying, and possibly local flight training. While it did not handle commercial or military traffic, it was a valuable asset for local aviators and for tourists visiting the scenic Rideau Lakes area by small aircraft.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Since the land is privately owned and has been repurposed for non-aviation use, reopening is considered permanently unfeasible. It would require the current owner's initiative, significant financial investment, and a complex re-certification process with Transport Canada.
