Economic reasons. The operating company, Asahi Kogyo Co., Ltd. (朝日工業株式会社), decided to withdraw from its aviation business division, which led to the subsequent closure and sale of the airfield.
The site has been completely redeveloped and no longer exists as an airfield. The land was sold and transformed into a large-scale industrial logistics park. The primary facility on the site now is the 'DPL Moriya' logistics center, developed by Daiwa House Industry. All traces of the runway, taxiways, and hangars have been removed.
Opened in 1989, Moriya Airfield was a private general aviation facility classified as a 'jōgai richakuriku-jō' (場外離着陸場), which translates to an 'off-airfield landing and takeoff site'. It was not a public airport but a private field primarily used by its operator, Asahi Kogyo. Operations included flight training, private and pleasure flights, aerial photography, and aircraft maintenance. The airfield featured a single paved runway approximately 550 meters (1,800 feet) in length and served as a base for a small fleet of light aircraft, such as the Cessna 172, and helicopters.
Zero. The land has been permanently repurposed for industrial and logistics use. The complete redevelopment of the site with large, permanent structures makes it impossible for the airfield to be reopened.
