Loma La Era Airport

The airport was a privately owned airstrip. While the specific reason for closure is not on public record, it was most likely due to economic factors and abandonment. The costs of maintaining even a simple dirt runway may have outweighed its utility for the private owner, leading to it ceasing operations.

As of the early 2020s, the physical runway remains visible on satellite imagery as a long dirt strip in the middle of agricultural land. However, it is unmaintained, overgrown, and not suitable for aviation. The site is part of the surrounding farmland, and the runway path is sometimes used by farm vehicles. There are no hangars, terminals, or other airport infrastructure on the site.

Loma La Era Airport was a small, private utility airfield with no major historical significance in terms of commercial or military aviation. Its purpose was to serve general aviation needs in a heavily agricultural region. Operations were likely limited to supporting local farming and ranching, such as crop dusting (given the prevalence of pivot irrigation fields in the area), transportation for landowners, and movement of light cargo or supplies. It was owned by a private individual and never handled scheduled passenger or cargo flights.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Loma La Era Airport. Any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the initiative of the private landowner and a renewed economic or logistical need for a private airstrip in that specific location, for which there is no current public indication.
