Ballinvally Farm Airstrip

As a private farm strip, the reason for its closure is not publicly recorded. It was not due to military conversion, a major accident, or broad economic factors affecting public airports. The closure was most likely a private decision by the landowner, possibly due to the owner ceasing flying activities, selling the aircraft or property, or deciding to fully return the land to agricultural use.

The site of the former airstrip has been fully returned to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the location as a simple grass field, with the former runway area now indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. There are no visible remnants of aviation infrastructure such as runway markers, lighting, or dedicated buildings on the site.

Ballinvally Farm Airstrip had no major national or commercial historical significance. It was a classic example of a private 'farm strip' common in rural areas. Its operations were limited to private, general aviation. It consisted of a single grass runway (approximately 550-600 meters long) and likely served light, single-engine aircraft for recreational purposes or personal transport for the owner. It did not have a control tower, commercial services, or significant infrastructure beyond a possible small hangar or shed.

There are no known or published plans to reopen the airstrip. As the land is privately owned and has been reintegrated into a farm, any prospect of reopening would be entirely dependent on the current landowner's private initiative and investment. Given the nature of the site, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
