Between 2009 and 2015. The airport was depicted as active on the 2009 New Orleans Sectional Chart but was listed as 'Closed' in FAA Airport/Facility Directory data by 2015.
The specific reason for closure is not publicly documented. The closure of small, private airfields like this is most commonly due to economic factors, the high cost of maintenance and insurance, the sale of the property, or the owner's retirement or death.
The site is currently private property and appears to be integrated back into the surrounding agricultural land. Satellite imagery shows that the faint outline of the grass runway is still visible, but it is unmaintained and overgrown. A single building, likely a former hangar or large shed, remains standing at the south end of the former runway.
W & E Air Service Airport was a small, private-use airfield that likely began operations in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Given its name 'Air Service' and its location in a rural, agricultural area of Concordia Parish, its primary function was almost certainly to support agricultural aviation (e.g., crop dusting). It also would have been used for general aviation by its owner. The facility consisted of a single north/south turf runway, approximately 2,600 feet in length.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the W & E Air Service Airport. As a small, privately-owned airfield that has been officially closed for many years, it is highly unlikely to be reactivated.
