Aguascalientes South Airstrip

Economic obsolescence and operational consolidation. The airstrip was almost certainly used for agricultural aviation (crop dusting). The closure is attributed to the consolidation of these services at larger, better-equipped regional airports like Mexicali International (MMML). The high cost of maintenance combined with a potential decrease in localized demand led to its abandonment.

The site is an abandoned and derelict airstrip. The north-south runway is still clearly visible from the air but is unmaintained, heavily weathered, and overgrown with desert scrub, making it unusable for any aircraft. The surrounding land continues to be used for agriculture. The airstrip itself has been effectively reclaimed by the natural landscape.

The airstrip's significance was entirely local and utilitarian. It served as a crucial support facility for the agricultural industry in the southern Mexicali Valley, near the community of Ejido Aguascalientes. When active, it handled light, single-engine agricultural aircraft (e.g., Piper Pawnee, Cessna AgWagon, Air Tractor) for crop dusting operations. It was not designed for passenger or general cargo traffic and was one of many similar private strips that supported the region's farms.

There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening Aguascalientes South Airstrip. The economic and logistical factors that led to its closure remain, and the regional trend continues to favor centralized aviation facilities. The probability of its reactivation as an airport is effectively zero.
