Alamo Navajo Airport

The primary reason for closure was its replacement by a new, superior facility. The original airport was a basic, unpaved dirt strip that likely suffered from deterioration and lacked modern safety features. A new, paved airport (Alamo Navajo Airport, FAA: 3N9) was constructed approximately 5 miles to the northeast and activated in August 2006 to better serve the community's needs, rendering the old field obsolete.

The site is completely abandoned and unused for aviation. Satellite imagery shows the faint, overgrown outline of the former dirt runway. The land has reverted to undeveloped scrubland, and a dirt track or road now cuts across the southern portion of the former runway area. There are no remaining buildings or airport infrastructure.

The airport, formerly identified by the FAA as 2NM1, was a private community airstrip established around 1970-1971. Its primary significance was providing a vital transportation link for the remote Alamo Chapter of the Navajo Nation. Operations consisted mainly of essential services, including medical evacuation (medevac) flights, transportation for government agencies like the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and limited general aviation. It featured a single unpaved runway, approximately 4,500 feet in length, which was critical for accessing the isolated community before the new airport was built.

There are zero plans or prospects for reopening this specific airport site. It has been permanently superseded by the modern Alamo Navajo Airport (3N9), which is fully operational and serves as the official aviation gateway for the Alamo Navajo community.
