Lote Once Airstrip

The closure was likely due to economic reasons and abandonment. As a small, private, unpaved field, its existence was dependent on the owner's need and financial ability to maintain it. The most probable causes for its closure are a change in land ownership, the owner ceasing aviation activities, or the high cost of maintenance for a rarely used strip. Its proximity to the fully-equipped Loreto International Airport (MMLT), located just a few miles south, made it largely redundant for anything other than hyper-specific private use.

The site is currently abandoned and has reverted to nature. The former dirt runway is heavily overgrown with desert scrub and is no longer suitable for any aviation activity. Satellite imagery shows the faint scar of the runway, but it is crossed by informal dirt tracks and is effectively just undeveloped land.

The airstrip, named after the land parcel it was on ('Lote Once' or 'Lot Eleven'), had minimal historical significance beyond serving its private owner. It functioned as a basic general aviation field for light aircraft (e.g., Cessna or Piper models). Operations would have been limited to private recreational flying or transportation for the landowner and their associates. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or scheduled passenger flights and was not part of Mexico's public airport infrastructure.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Lote Once Airstrip. The land is privately owned, and any reactivation would require significant private investment to clear, grade, and maintain the runway. Given the superior facilities available at the nearby Loreto International Airport, there is no public or commercial demand for this small, rudimentary strip, making its reopening highly improbable.
