Approximately 2012. The exact date is not officially documented, but aviation community discussions and historical airfield data indicate it ceased operations around this time.
Economic reasons and land repurposing. Huevar 2 was a private airfield located on agricultural land. The landowner decided to cease aviation operations and fully convert the property for agricultural use, specifically for the cultivation of olive trees, which was deemed more profitable.
The site is now an active olive grove. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that the former dirt runway and surrounding area have been systematically planted with rows of olive trees. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible from the air, the presence of mature trees makes the site completely unusable for any type of aircraft landing or takeoff.
Huevar 2 was a small, private ultralight (ULM) airfield, also known locally as 'Campo de Vuelo de Huevar'. Its operations were limited to recreational flying for the local general aviation community in the province of Seville. It primarily served ultralight aircraft and was never a commercial airport, hence the lack of an IATA code. Its designator, ES-0122, was a national identifier used within Spain for small airfields and not an official code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Its significance was purely local, providing a base for hobbyist pilots.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. The complete conversion of the land to a productive agricultural plantation makes its return to aviation use extremely unlikely. Reopening would require purchasing the land from the current owner, removing the entire olive grove, and reconstructing all necessary airfield infrastructure, which would be financially prohibitive with no clear demand.
