Guerrero Airport

The closure was primarily due to economic non-viability and obsolescence. As a small, rural airfield with minimal traffic, the costs of maintenance and operation became unsustainable. The development of better road infrastructure and the proximity of the larger, more modern Piedras Negras International Airport (ICAO: MMNR), located approximately 30 miles (50 km) to the north, rendered this small strip redundant. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or environmental issue.

The site is completely abandoned and in a state of advanced dereliction. Current satellite imagery shows the two asphalt runways are severely cracked, weathered, and being reclaimed by the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert scrubland. There are no visible remaining structures such as hangars, terminals, or service buildings. The land is unused and appears to be returning to its natural state.

Guerrero Airport was a small general aviation airfield. Its 'X' shaped runway layout is characteristic of airfields constructed in the mid-20th century, possibly with origins as an auxiliary field. When active, it would have primarily served light aircraft for private use, agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting for local farms), and potentially as an emergency landing strip. It never hosted scheduled commercial passenger flights, as indicated by its lack of an IATA code. The identifier MX-1620 is a local or unofficial designation, not an official ICAO code (which for Mexico begins with 'MM'), further highlighting its status as a minor, local-use airstrip.

There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening Guerrero Airport. The cost to clear the land, completely rebuild the runways, and construct modern infrastructure would be prohibitive. With no apparent economic or logistical demand for an airfield at this specific location, especially given the full services available at the nearby Piedras Negras International Airport, its revival is highly improbable.
