Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Circa mid-2010s. The airfield was listed as permanently closed in various aviation databases and directories around 2016-2018. As a private facility, there was no formal public announcement; it likely fell into disuse and was officially delisted over a period of time.

Reason for Closure

Private owner's decision. The airfield was a private, restricted-use facility exclusively serving the 'Finca Los Jarales', a large private hunting estate. Its closure was not due to a specific accident, military conversion, or broader economic crisis, but rather the common fate of private airfields that are no longer required, used, or maintained by their owners.

Current Status

The site is abandoned as an airfield. High-resolution satellite imagery confirms that the runway's outline is still visible, but it is completely overgrown with shrubs and vegetation, making it unusable for any aviation activity. The land has reverted to scrubland and remains an integrated part of the private Finca Los Jarales, which continues to operate as a hunting estate. There are no buildings or structures on the former airfield itself.

Historical Significance

The airport had local, private significance rather than major historical importance. It was officially designated as a 'restricted-use aerodrome' (aeródromo de uso restringido). Its primary function was to support the activities of the Finca Los Jarales. Operations were limited to general aviation aircraft, likely light single-engine planes, used for the private transport of the estate's owners and their guests. It may also have been used for estate management tasks such as aerial surveys. The facility consisted of a single unpaved, dirt runway (approximately 900 meters long) and minimal infrastructure.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airfield. Any potential reopening would be solely at the discretion and expense of the private landowner. Given its advanced state of disrepair, the cost of restoration, and the lack of any apparent commercial or private demand, a return to aviation service is considered highly improbable.
