Rancho Los Gutierrez Airfield

The airfield was a private facility serving a ranch. The closure was almost certainly due to private operational or economic reasons. Common causes for such closures include the owner no longer requiring air access, the prohibitive cost of maintenance and insurance, a change in land ownership, or the owner ceasing to fly. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was related to a major accident, military conversion, or direct government action.

The site is currently a disused, unmaintained airstrip. Satellite imagery shows the dirt runway is still clearly visible but is overgrown with vegetation and shows signs of erosion. The land appears to have been functionally reabsorbed into the surrounding ranch property, with tracks indicating it may be used by farm vehicles. The airfield is completely inactive for any aviation purposes.

Rancho Los Gutierrez Airfield was a private airstrip whose significance was tied to the ranch it served, 'Rancho Los Gutierrez'. Its primary purpose was to support general aviation for the ranch's owners and operations. This likely included personal transportation, business travel, and potentially agricultural support such as crop dusting or aerial surveying. The runway, approximately 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) long with a dirt surface, was capable of handling a variety of light single-engine and twin-engine propeller aircraft common in private and agricultural aviation. It did not serve public or commercial traffic and had no known military role.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Rancho Los Gutierrez Airfield. Any potential for reopening would be entirely at the discretion of the private landowner and would require significant investment to restore the runway to a safe, usable condition and re-certify it with Mexico's Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC). Given the economic factors that likely led to its closure, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
