Santo Toribio Airport

While no official reason has been published, the closure is almost certainly due to economic factors and redundancy. Small, private airfields like Santo Toribio often become financially unsustainable due to high maintenance costs and low traffic. The presence of the larger, better-equipped Ciudad Acuña International Airport (ICAO: MMCC) nearby would have consolidated air traffic, making this smaller strip obsolete for most general aviation and charter needs.

The airport is currently abandoned and in a state of complete disrepair. Satellite imagery clearly shows the paved runway, which is severely cracked, eroded, and overgrown with grass and shrubs, rendering it unusable. The surrounding land has not been repurposed for industrial, commercial, or residential use. The site remains as a derelict, ghost airfield.

Santo Toribio Airport was a minor airfield that served the general aviation community. With a single paved runway approximately 1,250 meters (4,100 feet) in length, it was capable of handling light and medium private aircraft, such as Cessnas, Pipers, and King Airs. Its operations were likely focused on private transport for local business owners or ranchers, agricultural aviation (crop dusting), and private charter flights. It did not handle commercial airline traffic. Its historical significance is purely local, having provided basic air access before operations were fully centralized at the city's main international airport.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Santo Toribio Airport. The city's aviation needs are adequately met by the operational Ciudad Acuña International Airport (MMCC). The cost to clear the land, demolish the old structures, and completely rebuild the runway and facilities to modern standards would be prohibitive and without economic justification. The prospect for reopening is considered non-existent.
