Santa Martha de los Osos Airport

The airport was a private airstrip, and its closure is presumed to be for economic reasons and cessation of private use by the property owner. Small, private airstrips of this nature are often abandoned when the owner no longer has the need or financial resources to maintain them. There is no evidence of military conversion or a specific incident leading to its closure.

The airport is abandoned and non-operational. High-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows a single, unpaved runway in a state of significant disrepair. The surface is heavily eroded, overgrown with vegetation, and bisected by what appear to be drainage channels or vehicle tracks. There are no visible aircraft, buildings, or signs of maintenance. The airstrip is unusable in its current condition and is effectively just a scar on the landscape within the private ranch property.

The airport held no major national or regional significance. Its purpose was entirely private, serving as a remote dirt/gravel airstrip for a large ranch, likely the 'Rancho Santa Martha de los Osos'. Operations would have been limited to small, general aviation aircraft (such as Cessna or Piper models) capable of landing on unpaved surfaces. It was used for transporting personnel, supplies, and potentially guests or owners to the remote ranch, bypassing the long drive on rural roads. Its primary function was to support the logistics of the private ranching or recreational activities on the property.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. As a private facility, any reopening would depend entirely on the initiative and investment of the current landowner. Given its remote location and the significant cost required to restore the runway to a safe, usable condition, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
