Dos Hermanas Airport

While no official reason has been published, the closure is almost certainly due to economic and operational factors related to its private nature. As a private airstrip, its operation was dependent on the owner's needs and financial ability to maintain it. The most probable reasons for its closure include the sale of the property to a new owner who had no use for an airstrip, a decline in the economic activity it supported (such as ranching or mining), or the original owner no longer requiring or being able to afford the upkeep of a private air facility.

The airport is abandoned and non-operational. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (28.2828, -101.33017) clearly shows the remnants of a single, unpaved (dirt or gravel) runway. The runway is in a state of disrepair, overgrown with vegetation, and is unusable for aviation purposes without extensive clearing and renovation. There are no visible airport-specific structures such as hangars, a terminal, or control towers at the site. The land has effectively reverted to being part of the surrounding rural landscape.

Dos Hermanas Airport was a small, private air facility and held no national or major regional significance. Its importance was purely local. The ICAO identifier 'MX-1729' is a non-standard code, typically assigned in unofficial databases to small, private, or unregistered airstrips in Mexico. It almost certainly served a large private ranch (rancho) or agricultural operation, possibly named 'Rancho Dos Hermanas'. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, handling light aircraft such as single or twin-engine propeller planes (e.g., Cessna, Piper). Its purpose was to provide convenient and rapid transportation for the property's owners, guests, staff, or high-value supplies to a relatively remote rural location, bypassing underdeveloped local road networks.

There are no known or published plans to reopen Dos Hermanas Airport. Given its remote location, private status, and the significant cost required to restore the runway and facilities, any prospect of reopening would be entirely dependent on a new private entity (such as a developer, ranch owner, or corporation) acquiring the land and having a specific economic or logistical need for a private airstrip. Currently, there is no indication of such interest.
