Elida 2 Airstrip

While no official reason is documented, the evidence strongly points to economic and land-use reasons. The airstrip was a private facility serving an agricultural operation. Its closure and subsequent conversion into cultivated farmland indicate that the owner likely no longer required the airstrip or found it more profitable to use the land for farming.

The site of the former Elida 2 Airstrip has been completely reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Current satellite imagery shows that the land where the runway once existed is now plowed and cultivated as part of the surrounding crop fields. There are no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or any associated airport buildings like hangars.

Elida 2 Airstrip was a private aerodrome serving a local agricultural estate or 'estancia' in the rural Chaco Province. Its operations were primarily related to general and agricultural aviation. This would have included transporting personnel, owners, and supplies to and from the remote farm, as well as potentially serving as a base for crop-dusting aircraft essential for large-scale farming in the region. Its significance was purely private and logistical, supporting the farm it was part of.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airstrip. Given that the land has been fully converted into productive agricultural land for over a decade, it is extremely unlikely that it will be reverted to use as an airfield.
