Information available does not indicate a formal closure date. The designation as 'closed' in some databases is likely due to its status as a private, restricted-use facility, not a publicly accessible airport that has been decommissioned. Satellite imagery from as recent as 2023 shows the runway and facilities to be in a well-maintained, operational condition, suggesting it is still active for private use.
Not applicable, as the airport does not appear to be permanently closed. It is a private aerodrome (aeródromo privado), meaning it was never 'open' for public or commercial use. Its restricted status is by design, not due to economic failure, accidents, or military conversion. Access is controlled by its owner.
The site is a functional, privately-owned airstrip. Satellite imagery confirms a well-maintained paved runway (approximately 1,200 meters / 3,900 feet), taxiways, and at least one hangar at the southern end of the property. It continues to serve its original purpose as a private airfield for general aviation aircraft at the discretion of its owner. It is not abandoned or repurposed.
The airport holds local, rather than national, significance. It was constructed as a private airstrip to serve agricultural, business, or personal interests in the region. When active, its operations would have been exclusively for general aviation, handling light aircraft. This likely included:
- Private transportation for landowners or business executives.
- Agricultural aviation (crop dusting and fumigation), which is common for airstrips in rural Mexican regions.
- Logistical support for nearby ranches or industrial facilities.
It has never been a commercial airport and did not handle scheduled passenger or cargo flights. The identifier MX-0991 is an unofficial code used in some non-governmental databases, not a standard ICAO code.
As the airport is not officially closed but is a private, operational facility, there are no 'reopening' plans in a public sense. Any change in its status, such as converting it to a public-use airport, would be a private decision by the owner and is considered highly unlikely given its infrastructure, remote location, and original purpose. There are no known government or commercial plans to alter its current private status.
