La Soledad Airstrip

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. The most probable cause is abandonment by its private owner(s) due to economic reasons, such as the sale of the associated property (likely the 'La Soledad' ranch), or the owner no longer operating aircraft or requiring an airstrip. A contributing factor could be the broader security crackdown by the Mexican government on unregulated private airstrips during the 2000s and 2010s to curb their use for illicit activities.

The site is abandoned and defunct. Satellite imagery confirms the runway outline is still visible but is unmaintained, partially overgrown, and shows evidence of use by ground vehicles rather than aircraft. There are no hangars, terminals, or any other aviation-related infrastructure at the site. It has reverted to being a simple strip of cleared land within a rural, agricultural landscape.

The airstrip holds no major national or regional historical significance. It was a small, private dirt runway (approximately 1,500 meters / 4,921 feet) serving local needs. Its primary function was likely to support a large ranch or agricultural operation, presumably the one named 'La Soledad'. Operations would have been limited to light general aviation aircraft for transporting personnel, equipment, and supplies to a remote area. The ICAO identifier 'MX-1376' is an unofficial code used by third-party aviation databases to catalog minor airfields, not an official code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization, further highlighting its status as a private, non-public facility.

There are no known public or private plans to reopen or redevelop La Soledad Airstrip. Given its remote location, lack of infrastructure, and the likely private and specific nature of its original purpose, the prospect of it reopening for any public or significant private use is extremely low. Recommissioning would require a new private owner with a specific need for an airstrip at this exact location and a significant investment to clear, grade, and certify the runway.
