Says it closed when the new airport opened.

>>
In February 2009 the larger Halifax-Northampton Regional Airport opened several miles the the southeast, at which point the Halifax County Airport presumably closed.

As of September 2010 the Halifax County Airport was still listed in the FAA Airport/Facility Directory, but with the remark “Airport closed permanently.”

We seemed to be blessed here in NC.

I think I recall landing at Halifax before it closed. I definitely have flown into the new airport which is quite nice with a very nice building, which is to say that it is up to the standard of most of our county airports with long, newish runways, nice facilities and generally uncrowded.

I have to pinch myself as I remember, "we're not in Jersey any more".
