Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Not publicly documented. The airstrip does not have a recorded operational history or an official closure date. The identifier 'MX-1239' is not an official ICAO code, and its status as 'closed' in some non-official online databases is unverified. It appears to be a private landing strip that has likely fallen into disuse rather than being formally closed.

Reason for Closure

Unknown. As there is no official record of the airstrip's purpose or operation, there is no documented reason for its abandonment. The cessation of use for such remote, private strips is typically linked to the sale of the property it served, the end of a specific business need (e.g., ranching, mining), or prohibitive maintenance costs.

Current Status

Satellite imagery of the coordinates (32.19479, -116.148469) confirms the existence of a primitive, unpaved dirt runway in a remote, mountainous area. The site lacks any supporting aviation infrastructure such as hangars, a terminal, or standard runway markings. Its current operational status is unknown, but it appears to be inactive or used very infrequently.

Historical Significance

The airstrip has no known historical significance. It was never a formally registered public or military airport. Analysis suggests it was a private, utilitarian dirt strip, likely intended to serve a local ranch, for private recreational flying, or for other unrecorded activities. There is no evidence of it ever handling commercial, military, or significant general aviation operations.

Reopening Prospects

None. There are no known public plans or prospects to develop, formalize, or 'reopen' this site as an official airport. As it is likely on private land, any future use would be at the discretion of the landowner and would not constitute a public reopening.
