Mazaruca Airport

The exact reason is not officially documented. As a small, private airstrip, the closure was most likely due to economic factors or the cessation of the owner's private/agricultural aviation activities. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to a major accident, military conversion, or urban development. It was likely abandoned when it was no longer financially viable or necessary to maintain.

The site is currently an abandoned and unmaintained field. High-resolution satellite imagery shows the former grass runway is completely overgrown with vegetation and is no longer clearly distinguishable from the surrounding agricultural pastureland. The site is completely unserviceable for any aviation activity and appears to be reverting to natural land.

Mazaruca Airport was a small, private aerodrome. Its significance was purely local, serving primarily for general aviation. Operations likely consisted of private recreational flights or agricultural aviation activities, such as crop dusting or providing air access to a remote 'estancia' (ranch) in the rural Ibicuy Islands area. It never handled commercial, scheduled, or significant military traffic. Its 'AR-xxxx' ICAO designation is typical for minor, uncertified landing strips in Argentina not intended for public use.

There are no known official plans or public prospects for reopening Mazaruca Airport. Given its private status, remote location, and lack of infrastructure, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on a new private owner with the need and financial resources to completely restore the runway, which is considered highly unlikely.
