Juarez Hermanos Airstrip

Change in land use and physical obstruction. The airstrip was permanently closed when a new structure, most likely an agricultural access road or a large irrigation canal, was constructed directly across the midpoint of the runway. This indicates a deliberate decision by the landowners to prioritize agricultural infrastructure over aviation, likely for economic reasons as the value of the land for farming outweighed its function as an airstrip.

The site is permanently closed and no longer functions as an airfield. The runway is defunct and clearly visible in satellite imagery as being bisected and in a state of disrepair. The northern portion of the former runway is being reclaimed by the surrounding farmland. The southern portion, adjacent to some remaining buildings that likely served as hangars or offices, appears to be used as a dirt access road and storage yard for the local agricultural operations.

Juarez Hermanos Airstrip was a small, private airfield primarily serving the agricultural industry of the Mexicali Valley. Its main function was to support agricultural aviation, including crop dusting (aerial fumigation) and seeding, which are vital activities in this heavily farmed region. It would have been a base for one or more agricultural aircraft (e.g., Air Tractor, Cessna Ag-wagon). The airstrip was unpaved, consisting of a single compacted dirt/gravel runway. Its significance was purely local, as one of many small, private strips that formed the backbone of the region's aerial agriculture support network. The ICAO code 'MX-0148' is an unofficial identifier used in non-governmental databases, as the airstrip was not a federally registered public airport.

None. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airstrip. The physical obstruction bisecting the runway would require significant and costly removal and reconstruction. Given that it was a private strip likely closed for economic reasons, there is no financial or logistical incentive to restore it to an operational state. The land is now fully integrated into the surrounding agricultural use.
