Media Luna (Campo Rosco) Airport

While no official reason has been published, the closure of a small, private airstrip like Campo Rosco is typically due to economic or logistical factors. It was likely closed because the agricultural or business entity it served ceased operations, the owner no longer required air access, the cost of maintenance became prohibitive, or the land was repurposed by its owner.

The airport is abandoned. The physical runway is still visible in satellite imagery as a long dirt/grass strip, but it is overgrown, unmaintained, and not suitable for aviation. The land has largely reverted to its agricultural surroundings, with farming activities taking place directly adjacent to the former runway.

Media Luna (Campo Rosco) Airport was a private airstrip serving a rural, agricultural area. Its primary function was likely to support the operations of a large local ranch or farm ('campo' is Spanish for 'field' or 'countryside'). Operations would have consisted of general aviation for the property owners and, most critically, aerial application services such as crop dusting and spraying for the surrounding farmland.

There are no known public or private plans to rehabilitate or reopen the airport. Given its deteriorated condition and private nature, any prospect of reopening would depend entirely on a new private owner having a specific agricultural or logistical need for an airstrip at this location, which would require significant investment.
