Unknown. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery, the airstrip appears to have fallen into disuse and become overgrown between 2012 and 2018, suggesting a likely closure sometime in the mid-2010s.
The specific reason is not publicly documented. However, evidence strongly suggests abandonment and the subsequent repurposing of the land for agricultural use. As a small private airstrip, its closure was most likely due to economic non-viability or a change in land ownership. It is important to note that the closure of this small airstrip (MX-1483) is completely separate and unrelated to the highly publicized 2018 cancellation of the large-scale New Mexico City International Airport (NAICM) project, which was a different development planned for another location in the Texcoco region.
The site of the former airport is completely defunct and has been reclaimed by the surrounding environment. Recent satellite imagery shows the area where the dirt runway once existed is now overgrown with vegetation and is being used for agriculture. All traces of active aviation infrastructure are gone, and the runway is no longer visible or usable.
This facility, known locally as 'Aeródromo de Texcoco', was a small, private airstrip with no major national historical significance. Its operations were confined to general aviation. It primarily served private, single-engine light aircraft for recreational flying, agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting for surrounding farms), and possibly some basic flight training. It was never a commercial airport and did not handle passenger or cargo airline services.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. The land has been fully repurposed for agriculture, and the necessary infrastructure has been removed or has deteriorated beyond repair. Any future aviation development for the Mexico City metropolitan area is focused on the existing Mexico City International Airport (MEX/MMMX) and the newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU/MMSM).
