Jagueyes Airport

While no single official reason has been published, the closure is almost certainly due to a combination of economic non-viability and significant security concerns. The state of Chihuahua is a primary corridor for drug trafficking, and small, remote, and unmonitored airstrips like Jagueyes are highly susceptible to being co-opted by cartels for illicit logistics. The Mexican military (SEDENA) has a long-standing policy of disabling such runways to disrupt narco-trafficking. It is highly probable that the airstrip was either abandoned by its operators due to lack of use or officially closed and rendered unusable by authorities to prevent illegal activities.

The site is completely abandoned. Current satellite imagery shows a faint outline of a single dirt/gravel runway that is heavily overgrown and unmaintained. There are no hangars, terminal buildings, or any other aviation-related infrastructure visible. The land is not in use for any purpose and appears to be reverting to the surrounding agricultural and scrubland environment. It is unusable for any type of aircraft.

Jagueyes Airport was a minor, local airstrip and never a commercial airport. Its ICAO identifier, MX-1050, is a non-standard code used by aviation databases for small airfields, indicating its unofficial or private status. Its historical significance was purely local, serving the rural and agricultural municipality of Namiquipa. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, likely including private flights for local ranchers, agricultural aviation (crop dusting), and providing basic air access to a remote area. It did not handle any scheduled passenger or significant cargo operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Jagueyes Airport. Given the likely security-related reasons for its closure, the lack of any economic demand for an airstrip in that specific location, and the Mexican government's focus on disabling rather than rehabilitating such fields, reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
