For how long, after the last take off for that day, airport shall stay open for emergency return of that last departed aircraft? Where can I find that recommendation?

To clarify: Airport need to be closed during night due to work in progress on runway, so it can't stay open 24/7 for emergency landings.

  Airport is closed at night, but stay open 24/7 for emergency landings. In this particular situation need to be closed even for emergency landings due to work in progress on runway.

  The airport where I work (not as a pilot or airport employee) was doing night work last summer, after their normal 10 or 11PM closing time, at the intersection of the 2 crossing runways. There was a NOTAM about it, so anyone calling for a weather briefing would have known about it. Did they stay open later after the last departure? I don't know.

Not just departures. Assume an emergency takes place en route, and that airport with the closed runway is the only one available within a big area. What now?

There are two things to distinguish:

1. Operating hours


2. Temporary surface (runway) closure

If the airport is already 24/7, the tower will remain staffed.

If not, once the airport closes on schedule, the airspace classification changes from controlled to uncontrolled. This has nothing to do with the runway's status, NOTAM does:

Closure = NOTAM

Surface closure must be NOTAMed. So that the flight crew are made aware of such limitation. A similar limitation applies to taking off in white-out conditions, where a return may not be feasible.

Check your national authority's documentation for NOTAMs, for example for the FAA it will be AC 150/5200-28F. NOTAM issuing for your example is the airport management's responsibility.

! JFK JFK RWY 12/30 CLSD DLY 1400-0100

In the above example runway 12/30 will be closed daily from 2 pm to 1 am – irrespective of when was the last departure.

  @trognanders: Having a not-closed runway with suitable dimensions. Airlines already check the weather and NOTAMs of suitable airports along any route they take before the flight commences. It's not left to chance. If you want more details, I recommend asking a new question.

Where I work, we have to stay in the tower for 15 minutes after the last departure in case they need to return. To my knowledge, there are no international regulations about this, so the rules may well be different from place to place.
