El Amargo Airport

There is no official documented reason for its closure. Given its characteristics as a small, private airstrip in a remote, rural area, the most probable cause is economic. It likely ceased operations because the associated agricultural or private business (e.g., a large ranch or 'estancia') that it served no longer required it, or the cost of maintenance was no longer justified. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site of the former airport is now essentially abandoned. Satellite imagery of the coordinates reveals the faint outline of a single, unpaved dirt runway in the middle of agricultural land. There are no visible signs of infrastructure such as hangars, terminals, or lighting. The runway appears unmaintained and is likely unusable for most aircraft. The land has effectively reverted to its surrounding agricultural use.

El Amargo Airport held no major national or regional historical significance. It was a private-use aerodrome, typical of many found in agricultural regions of Argentina. Its operations would have been limited to serving the needs of its owner, likely for agricultural aviation (crop dusting, fumigation) and private general aviation for transporting personnel or supplies to and from a remote property. It never handled scheduled commercial passenger or cargo traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening El Amargo Airport. As a private facility, any reopening would depend entirely on a private owner having a specific need and the capital to restore the runway to a safe, usable condition. Given its remote location and the lack of any apparent economic driver, the likelihood of this is extremely low.
