Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

The airport closed sometime between 1987 and 1994. It was last depicted on the 1987 Miami Sectional Chart but was no longer present on the 1994 edition of the same chart.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for the closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately-owned airstrip, it was likely closed for personal reasons, such as the owner's death, the sale of the property, the high cost of maintenance, or a lack of use. The closure was not related to military conversion, a major accident, or broad economic factors affecting a public airport.

Current Status

The site of the former Leffler Airport is currently undeveloped, vacant land. The physical runway is no longer usable and has been reclaimed by nature. Satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the former runway, which is now heavily overgrown with dense brush and trees. There are no remaining airport structures, such as hangars or buildings, on the site.

Historical Significance

Leffler Airport, also known as Leffler Field, was a minor, private general aviation airfield. It first appeared on aeronautical charts around 1970. The facility consisted of a single, unpaved north-south runway with a length of approximately 2,600 feet. Its operations were limited to serving light, single-engine aircraft for recreational or personal use by its owner and possibly invited guests. It held no significant commercial or military role and its historical importance is confined to local aviation history as a private airstrip.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Leffler Airport. Having been abandoned for over 30 years, the land would require significant clearing and investment to be made operational again. It is highly unlikely to be re-established as an airfield, and the land will likely remain vacant or be developed for other purposes in the future.
