Elizalde Airport

Urban encroachment and real estate development. As the city of La Plata expanded, the airfield became surrounded by residential areas, making continued flight operations increasingly unsafe and impractical. The valuable land was subsequently sold and expropriated for the development of a new housing district.

The site has been completely redeveloped and is now a residential neighborhood officially named 'Barrio Aeropuerto' (Airport Neighborhood) within the Villa Elvira district of La Plata. The former runways and airport facilities have been replaced by a grid of streets and houses. There are no physical remnants of the airport visible today, though its legacy lives on in the neighborhood's name.

For several decades, Elizalde Airport was the primary hub for civil and general aviation in the La Plata region. It was a private airfield that served as the home base for prominent flying clubs ('aeroclubes'), most notably the Aeroclub La Plata. Its operations were centered on flight instruction, private aviation, recreational flying, and parachuting. It played a vital role in training pilots and fostering an aviation community in the area before its activities were eventually consolidated at the main La Plata Airport (ICAO: SADL).

None. The land has been permanently repurposed as a densely populated residential area. Reopening the site as an airport is physically, economically, and logistically impossible.
