Canoitas Airport

The official reason is not publicly documented, which is common for a private airfield. The closure was most likely due to economic or operational decisions by its private owner. Probable causes include the sale of the associated property (likely a large ranch), the owner no longer requiring private air access, or the maintenance costs becoming prohibitive. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, military conversion, or government action.

The airport is permanently closed and abandoned. Recent satellite imagery confirms the presence of large, faded white 'X's on the runway threshold and midpoint, indicating it is unfit and unavailable for aircraft operations. The asphalt runway shows visible signs of weathering and decay, with vegetation encroaching on the edges. The site is currently unused, with the runway infrastructure left in place but unmaintained.

Canoitas Airport was a significant private airstrip, not a public airport for commercial or general use. Its primary purpose was to serve a large, private ranch or hunting lodge, providing direct and convenient access for owners and high-end guests. The facility features a single paved runway approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) in length, capable of accommodating a range of private aircraft from turboprops (like the King Air) to light and mid-size jets (like a Cessna Citation). Its operations were exclusively related to general aviation, supporting private transport and luxury tourism in a remote region of the state of Coahuila.

There are no known plans, official discussions, or prospects for reopening Canoitas Airport. As a privately owned facility, its reactivation would depend entirely on the initiative and significant financial investment of a new or current landowner who requires private air access. Based on its current state of disrepair and the lack of any public information, the likelihood of it reopening is considered extremely low to non-existent.
