Bacoporobampo Airport

The closure was due to private operational and economic factors. As a private agricultural airstrip ('aeródromo agrícola'), its existence was tied to the needs of the local farming enterprise. The most likely reasons for its closure include the consolidation of aviation services at another location, the sale or cessation of the parent company's operations, or a shift away from private air transport and aerial application, making the airstrip no longer cost-effective to maintain.

The site is completely abandoned and non-operational as an airport. Satellite imagery clearly shows the faint outline of the former dirt runway, but it is heavily deteriorated, unmaintained, and partially overgrown with vegetation. The surrounding land, including parts of the former runway area, has been fully reclaimed for agricultural cultivation. There are no remaining airport facilities like hangars or terminals.

The airport held no national or commercial significance. Its importance was entirely local, serving as a private support facility for the large-scale agricultural operations in the Bacoporobampo region, which is part of the fertile Fuerte Valley. When active, it primarily handled two types of operations:
1. **Agricultural Aviation:** It was a base for crop-dusting aircraft ('aviones fumigadores') used for the aerial application of pesticides, fertilizers, and seeds on the vast surrounding fields.
2. **General Aviation:** It accommodated small, private propeller aircraft used to transport farm owners, managers, and business associates directly to and from the remote agricultural site, bypassing the main city airport.
It is a typical example of the numerous private airstrips that were essential to the development and operation of Mexico's agricultural industry, particularly in states like Sinaloa.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Bacoporobampo Airport. Given its complete state of disrepair, its private nature, and the proximity of the modern and fully-serviced Valle del Fuerte International Airport (MMMM / LMM) in Los Mochis, there is no practical or economic incentive for its restoration. It is considered permanently closed.
