The exact official closure date is not publicly documented. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airstrip fell into a state of disuse and became progressively overgrown throughout the 2010s. By the late 2010s, it was clearly no longer maintained for active use. Most aviation databases now officially list it as 'Closed'.
As a private airstrip, its closure was not due to public, military, or commercial factors. The most likely reason is a change in the private owner's circumstances or needs. This could include the sale of the property (Rancho El Seis Quince), the owner no longer possessing an aircraft, or a decision to cease funding the maintenance of the runway. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to its closure.
The physical runway remains visible on satellite imagery but is in a state of complete disrepair. It is unmaintained, significantly overgrown with grass and shrubs, and is unsuitable for any aviation operations. The land is part of the private ranch and the former runway is likely used as a simple dirt track for farm vehicles or has been left fallow.
The airport's significance was entirely private. It served as the personal airstrip ('campo de aviación') for the large agricultural and cattle ranch it is located on, the 'Rancho El Seis Quince'. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation, handling small single or twin-engine propeller aircraft. The primary purpose was to provide convenient, private air transportation for the ranch's owners, their guests, and potentially for business or agricultural activities, connecting the remote ranch to regional cities.
There are no known public or private plans to reopen or redevelop El Seis Quince Airport. Any decision to restore the airstrip would be at the sole discretion and expense of the current landowner. Given its private nature, remote location, and current state of disrepair, the prospects for it ever reopening as an active airport are extremely low to non-existent.
