The exact date of closure is not officially documented, as is common for small, private airstrips. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airstrip was clearly defined and likely operational until at least 2015. By 2020-2021, the runway shows significant disuse and is becoming overgrown. Therefore, the closure or cessation of regular operations likely occurred gradually between 2015 and 2020.
No official reason for the closure has been published. However, given its name and location, it was a private airstrip for agricultural aviation (crop dusting). The most probable reasons for its closure are economic, such as the cessation of the owner's business ('Aero Fumigaciones'), the consolidation of aerial spraying services at larger nearby airports (like Campo Cuatro Milpas Airport - MMLO), or the land being repurposed or simply left fallow. There is no evidence to suggest closure due to a specific accident or military conversion.
As of the latest satellite imagery, the airstrip is defunct and non-operational. The physical dirt runway is still visible but is unmaintained, partially overgrown with vegetation, and shows signs of being used as a simple access road for vehicles servicing the adjacent agricultural fields. There are no aircraft, hangars, or any signs of active aviation infrastructure remaining on the site.
The airstrip's significance was entirely local and tied to the region's agricultural industry. Located in the heart of the Guasave valley, a major agricultural center in Sinaloa, its primary and likely sole purpose was to support 'fumigaciones aéreas' (aerial fumigation or crop dusting). Operations would have consisted of small, single-engine aircraft, such as the Cessna 188 (AgWagon/AgTruck) series, taking off and landing to apply pesticides, fertilizers, and other treatments to the vast surrounding fields. It played a direct role in the productivity and efficiency of local farming operations when it was active.
There are no known official plans or publicly discussed prospects for reopening the Aero Fumigaciones Cessna Airstrip. Given its small size, dirt surface, and the proximity of larger, better-equipped aviation facilities in the Guasave area, a reopening is considered highly unlikely. Any future use would likely require significant private investment from a new agricultural aviation operator, for which there is currently no indication.
