Basquo Airport

As a small, private airstrip, the closure was not due to military conversion, a major accident, or official government action. The most probable reason is related to the private owner of the land. Common reasons for such closures include the owner no longer being an active pilot, the sale of the property, prohibitive costs of maintenance and liability insurance, or the owner's passing. The closure was a private decision.

The site is no longer an active airport. Satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the former runway, which is now unmaintained and partially overgrown with vegetation. The land is private property and appears to be used for equipment or material storage and general access for the adjacent residential property. It is completely unsuitable for aviation use in its current condition.

Basquo Airport was a private general aviation airstrip. Its ICAO code, US-10290, is an unofficial identifier used by third-party databases and not an official FAA location ID. The airstrip consisted of a single unpaved (dirt/gravel) runway, approximately 1,700 feet in length. Its operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft, such as Piper Super Cubs or Cessna 180s, which are common in Alaska for personal transportation, recreation, and accessing remote areas. Its historical significance is purely local, representing one of the many private airstrips that support the Alaskan lifestyle, rather than being a site of major aviation events or commercial activity. The name 'Basquo' may be a variation or misspelling related to the nearby 'Basargin Road'.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Basquo Airport. As it is on private land, any decision to reopen would be solely at the discretion and expense of the landowner. Given the proximity of the much larger, full-service Kenai Municipal Airport (PAEN / ENA) just a few miles away, there is no public or commercial demand that would justify its reopening.
