The exact date of closure is unknown. The heliport's 'closed' status appears in third-party aviation databases, indicating it was likely delisted sometime in the 2000s or 2010s. As a private facility, there was no formal public announcement of its closure.
The heliport was a private facility owned and operated by 'Hazen Flying Service'. The closure of the heliport designation is presumed to be for operational or economic reasons, most likely because the company ceased using helicopters for its agricultural aviation services, relying instead on its fixed-wing aircraft. The closure pertains to the heliport designation, not the entire aviation site.
The site at coordinates 34.780645, -91.581852 is not abandoned. It remains the active, private headquarters and airstrip for Hazen Flying Service. Satellite imagery clearly shows a private runway, hangars, support buildings, and fixed-wing agricultural aircraft. While the formal 'heliport' designation is no longer active, the location continues to function as a private aviation base.
The heliport's significance was local and private. It served as a base for the helicopter operations of Hazen Flying Service, a company specializing in agricultural aviation. Its operations would have included aerial application (crop dusting), seeding, and fertilization for farms in the Hazen, Arkansas area. It was not a public-use facility and had no scheduled passenger or cargo services.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. Since it was a private facility tied to the specific needs of a business, its reactivation would be entirely dependent on the owner, Hazen Flying Service, deciding to reintroduce helicopters into its fleet and seeking to have the facility relisted in aviation databases.
