Cibor Airport

The closure was due to economic reasons, specifically for real estate development. Located in the valuable coastal community of Rye, New Hampshire, the land's value for residential housing far exceeded its value as a private airfield. The property was sold and subsequently developed into a housing subdivision.

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped into a residential neighborhood. In a tribute to its past, the main road built directly over the former runway's path is named 'Cibor Avenue'. The area is now occupied by single-family homes, yards, and suburban infrastructure.

Cibor Airport was a small, privately owned general aviation airfield. It was owned by the Cibor family (specifically Joseph Cibor) and featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 2,200 feet long, designated as Runway 1/19. The airport primarily served the owner and likely a few other local pilots, accommodating light single-engine aircraft like Pipers and Cessnas. Its significance is representative of the many small, private grass strips that were common across the United States in the mid-20th century but have since vanished due to suburban sprawl and economic pressures.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening Cibor Airport. The land has been permanently and densely redeveloped for residential use, making any return to aviation activities physically and economically impossible.
