Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Closure Date

The airport is not closed. Official records from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the identifier 6GA9 confirm it is an active, operational airport. The 'closed' status associated with the non-official identifier US-11309 originates from an outdated or incorrect entry in a third-party database.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable, as the airport remains operational for private use.

Current Status

The site is an active private-use airport. It is officially designated by the FAA as 6GA9 Wade Plantation Airport. It features a single, well-maintained turf runway (18/36) measuring 5000 x 100 feet. The airport is owned by Wade Plantation LLLP and, according to the latest FAA records, has one single-engine aircraft based on the field. Its use is strictly private ('PPR' - Prior Permission Required) and generally limited to the owner's aircraft and invited guests.

Historical Significance

Wade Plantation Airport (FAA: 6GA9) is a private airstrip established to serve the historic Wade Plantation, a large private landholding in Screven County, Georgia, known for quail hunting and land management. Its history is tied directly to the plantation's operations, providing convenient air access for the owners, guests, and business related to the estate. It has never served as a public, commercial, or military airport, and its operations have always been restricted to private use.

Reopening Prospects

Not applicable, as the airport is currently active and has not been closed.
