December 2002
The airfield was closed by its owner, Toyota Motor Corporation, to redevelop the land for industrial expansion. The site was repurposed for the construction of the Toyota Kamigo Plant and a logistics center, which were more critical to the company's core business.
The site has been completely redeveloped and is now the location of the Toyota Motor Corporation Kamigo Plant (トヨタ自動車 上郷工場), which manufactures engines, and the Kamigo/Takahashi Logistics Center. The runway, hangars, and all other aviation-related infrastructure have been entirely removed and replaced with factory buildings, internal roads, and parking lots.
The facility was a private corporate airfield known as Toyota Airfield (トヨタ飛行場), not a military installation. The name 'Nagoya Air Base' and the ICAO code 'JP-2246' are erroneous or non-official identifiers found in some third-party databases. Opened around 1968, the airfield was owned and operated exclusively by Toyota Motor Corporation. Its primary purpose was to facilitate rapid corporate transportation, serving as a hub for the company's business jets and turboprop aircraft to transport executives, engineers, and urgent parts between Toyota's headquarters and its other plants across Japan.
There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. The land has been permanently and fully repurposed for a critical industrial manufacturing and logistics facility, making a return to aviation use infeasible.
