Unknown, but satellite imagery suggests it fell into disuse sometime after 2015. The runway shows significant deterioration in imagery from the late 2010s onward, indicating a gradual closure rather than a specific, dated event.
The specific reason is not officially documented, which is common for small, private airfields. However, evidence points to economic reasons and/or a change in the owner's needs. As a private airstrip likely serving a local ranch, its closure was probably due to it no longer being required for transport or agricultural operations, or the cost of maintenance becoming prohibitive for the owner.
The site is abandoned as an airfield. Current satellite imagery shows a clearly defined but unmaintained and deteriorating dirt runway. The surface is eroded and overgrown with vegetation in several places. The land has reverted to its surrounding rural/agricultural state and is not used for any aviation activities.
The airport had no major historical significance on a national level. It was a private dirt airstrip, likely built to serve the needs of a large local ranch, possibly named 'Rancho Las Tiendas'. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation, serving as a private landing field for the owners, staff, or for agricultural purposes such as crop dusting. The ICAO code 'MX-1623' is an unofficial identifier used in some non-governmental aviation databases to catalog smaller airfields and is not an official code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Las Tiendas Airport. As a privately owned airstrip in a remote area, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on a future owner of the land having a specific need and the financial resources to restore and maintain it, which is considered highly unlikely.
