Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not officially recorded, as it was a private facility. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airstrip was clearly defined and likely active until the early 2010s. By the mid-2010s, the runway shows signs of disuse and lack of maintenance. Therefore, it is estimated to have closed sometime between 2010 and 2015.

Reason for Closure

No official reason for the closure has been published. Given its location and type, it was almost certainly a private agricultural airstrip. Closures of such facilities are typically due to economic or operational reasons, such as the sale of the property it served, a change in farming operations that eliminated the need for an airstrip, or the high cost of aircraft operation and runway maintenance becoming unviable for the private owner.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and defunct. The site, visible in recent satellite imagery, consists of a faded, unmaintained dirt runway. The land has been effectively reabsorbed into the surrounding agricultural landscape. The former runway is now just a dirt track crossed by other farm vehicle paths and is not used for any aviation-related activities.

Historical Significance

The airport holds no major historical significance in Mexican aviation. It was a private, unpaved dirt airstrip serving a local agricultural enterprise, likely a large ranch or farm named 'Los Tríos'. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation and agricultural purposes, handling light aircraft used for crop dusting, spraying, and transporting personnel, supplies, and light cargo to and from the remote rural location.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening Los Tríos Airport. Any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on the private landowner and the emergence of a new economic or logistical need for a private airstrip at this location, which is considered extremely unlikely.
