Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date of closure is not officially documented. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates a gradual abandonment. The airstrip appeared well-maintained and active in the early 2000s, but by the early 2010s, it showed significant signs of disuse and vegetation encroachment. It was likely fully abandoned and considered closed sometime between 2008 and 2012.

Reason for Closure

The closure appears to be due to economic reasons and gradual abandonment. There are no public records of a specific incident, accident, or official decree leading to its closure. Small, private airstrips in rural Mexico often cease operations when they are no longer financially viable for their owners or when the primary user (such as a local business or agricultural operation) no longer requires it. The deterioration visible over time is consistent with a simple lack of use and maintenance rather than a sudden event.

Current Status

The airport is completely abandoned and unusable. Current satellite imagery shows the faint outline of a single paved runway, which is severely deteriorated, cracked, and heavily overgrown with grass and shrubs. Several dirt tracks now cross the former runway, indicating it is used for ground transit by local vehicles or farm equipment. There are no remaining airport buildings, such as hangars or a terminal, visible on the site. The land has effectively reverted to an unused, semi-agricultural state.

Historical Significance

Aeródromo Tecuixiapan was a small, local airstrip with no record of scheduled commercial flights. Its primary function was likely to support general aviation in the region. This would have included private transportation for local landowners or business owners, and potentially agricultural aviation (crop dusting), which is common for airstrips in rural, farm-intensive areas of Mexico. Its significance was purely utilitarian and confined to the immediate local community of Tecuixiapan and the municipality of Tepecoacuilco de Trujano, serving as a private transport link.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening Aeródromo Tecuixiapan. Given its advanced state of decay, the significant investment required to clear, resurface, and rebuild facilities would be substantial. Furthermore, with no apparent economic driver for aviation services in the immediate area and the proximity of other airports like Iguala National Airport (MMIG) approximately 25 km away, the reopening of this small airstrip is considered highly improbable.
