Los Fresnos Airport

The primary reason for closure appears to be economic and a lack of use. This was a very small, basic dirt airstrip, likely privately owned and operated. Such facilities are often abandoned when the owner no longer has a need for it, cannot afford the upkeep, or the aircraft that used it are sold or fall out of service. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or official government order, pointing towards simple abandonment.

The site is completely abandoned and non-operational. Satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the single dirt runway, which is heavily weathered, eroded, and being reclaimed by desert scrub and vegetation. Numerous vehicle tracks crisscross the former runway, indicating it is now used for informal ground transit but is unsuitable for any aviation activity. There are no remaining buildings, hangars, or infrastructure at the site.

Los Fresnos Airport was a minor, local airstrip with no significant national or international historical importance. Its ICAO code, MX-1585, is a non-official identifier, indicating it was likely not part of Mexico's formal national airport system. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation, serving the remote Ojinaga region. It likely handled small, single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper) capable of landing on short, unpaved surfaces. The primary uses would have been for private transportation, agricultural activities (such as crop dusting), or supporting local ranching operations in a sparsely populated area where ground travel can be time-consuming.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Los Fresnos Airport. Given its remote location, degraded condition, and the existence of the larger (though also commercially inactive) Ojinaga National Airport (MMOJ) nearby, there is no economic or logistical incentive to restore this small dirt strip. The cost of clearing, grading, and certifying the airstrip for use would be substantial with little to no demand. The site will likely continue to revert to its natural desert state.
