New Jersey Township To Close Airport

Will Review Possible Future Uses For Airport's 121 Acres

Green Township in Sussex County, NJ plans to close an airport it purchased nearly 20 years ago and will consider options for redeveloping the site.

Trinca Airport (13N) was first opened 81-years ago, according to a report from the Associated Press. It is slated to close on September 1, according to NJ.com.

The airport, for which the township paid $2.28 million 18 years ago, consists of a single grass runway. There are no fees for pilots to use the field, but Mayor Margaret Phillips said the township has annual costs of about $15,000 to maintain the airport and pay a part-time airport manager. She said local officials are concerned about the cost of improvements at the airport required by the FAA and Department of Homeland Security.

Officials began discussing closing the airport after an accident in 2018 which fatally injured the pilot of an amateur-built airplane.

The airfield is used by flight schools to teach soft-field takeoffs and landings. It is also popular with pilots of antique aircraft who prefer to operate from grass than pavement.
