General Rodriguez Airport

Economic and urban development. The land occupied by the airport was sold to private developers for the construction of a high-end, gated residential community. The increasing value of real estate in the expanding suburbs of Buenos Aires made the land more valuable for housing than for general aviation purposes.

The site of the former airport has been completely redeveloped. It is now the location of the 'Haras El Malacate Country Club', a large, private gated community. The runways, taxiways, and hangars have been entirely demolished and replaced by streets, houses, lakes, and recreational facilities. While faint outlines of the former runways might be visible in historical satellite imagery, no functional aviation infrastructure remains.

The airport was primarily known as the home of the 'Aeroclub General Rodríguez'. Its significance was local rather than national. For decades, it served as a key hub for general aviation in the western zone of the Greater Buenos Aires area. Its main operations included:
- Flight School (Escuela de Vuelo): Training new generations of private pilots.
- Recreational Flying: A base for private aircraft owners and aviation enthusiasts.
- Sport Aviation: Activities such as parachuting and aerobatics may have occurred.
- Minor Agricultural Aviation: Potentially serving as a base for crop-dusting aircraft operating in the surrounding rural areas.
The ICAO code 'AR-0175' is a non-standard, locally assigned identifier used in some databases, not an official ICAO code which for Argentina would start with 'SA'.

Zero. There are no plans or prospects for reopening the airport at its original location. The land has been permanently converted to a high-density residential use. Re-establishing an airport on this site is not feasible as it would require the acquisition and demolition of the entire multi-million dollar residential development.
