Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2007-2008. The aerodrome was listed as active in the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) through the 2006 edition but was removed by the 2008 edition, indicating it was officially closed sometime in that two-year period.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for the closure is not publicly documented, which is common for small, privately owned airfields. The closure was likely due to the owner's personal or financial decisions, such as the sale of the land, retirement from aviation, or the rising costs and liability of maintaining a private aerodrome.

Current Status

The site is now a private property used for residential and agricultural purposes. Current satellite imagery shows that the land where the runway was located is now part of a larger farm field. The faint outline of the former grass runway is still visible as a mown strip, but it is no longer registered or maintained as an active aviation facility. A large, modern building, likely a barn or workshop, is located on the property.

Historical Significance

Oxford Mills Aerodrome was a small, private general aviation airfield. It primarily served the recreational flying needs of its owner and other local pilots with permission. According to its last published data, it featured a single turf runway (designated 02/20) with a length of 2,600 feet (792 meters). Its significance was local, representing a typical private grass airstrip that supports personal aviation in rural Canadian communities, rather than having any commercial or military role.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Oxford Mills Aerodrome. As the land has been fully integrated into a private farm and residence for over a decade, its return to aviation use is highly unlikely.
