Approximately late 1990s to early 2000s. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the runway was still visible but with initial industrial construction beginning on the site in 2002, indicating the airport ceased operations around that time.
Economic reasons and industrial expansion. The land occupied by the airport was repurposed for the development of the 'Parque Industrial Mieleras' (Mieleras Industrial Park). The rapid industrial growth of Torreón made the land significantly more valuable for manufacturing and logistics than for use as a secondary general aviation airfield.
The site has been completely redeveloped and is now the location of the Parque Industrial Mieleras, one of Torreón's most important industrial zones. The former runway, taxiways, and hangars have been entirely replaced by numerous large factories, warehouses, and logistical centers for both national and international companies. There are no visible remnants of the original airport.
Mieleras Airport served as a private and general aviation airfield for Torreón and the surrounding 'Comarca Lagunera' region. It was a secondary facility to the main Francisco Sarabia International Airport (TRC). Its primary operations included supporting local businesses and agriculture, handling executive and private charter flights, facilitating agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting), and possibly serving as a base for flight schools and air taxi services. It catered to smaller piston and turboprop aircraft that did not require the full services of an international airport.
Zero. The land is fully and densely occupied by a critical industrial park. There is no physical space, economic incentive, or political will to revert the site to aviation use. All of Torreón's aviation needs are comprehensively served by the nearby Francisco Sarabia International Airport (ICAO: MMTC, IATA: TRC).
