El Azulejo Airfield

The airfield was intentionally disabled to prevent its use for illicit activities. Satellite imagery clearly shows a series of large trenches dug across the runway at regular intervals. This is a common method used by the Mexican Armed Forces (specifically SEDENA - Secretariat of National Defense) to destroy clandestine or unauthorized airstrips ('pistas clandestinas') used by drug cartels for smuggling operations in northern Mexico.

The site is completely abandoned and defunct. The runway remains physically destroyed by the trenches and is heavily overgrown with desert scrub and vegetation. It is completely unusable for any form of aviation and the land is reverting to its natural state. There are no remaining buildings or infrastructure of note.

El Azulejo Airfield was a private, unpaved airstrip. Its primary function was to serve a large private ranch ('rancho') or agricultural enterprise in this remote region of Coahuila. Operations were limited to general aviation, supporting light single- or twin-engine aircraft for the private transport of personnel, supplies, and property owners. It had no public access, commercial flights, or wider regional significance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening El Azulejo Airfield. Given that it was physically destroyed by military authorities for security reasons, its remote location, and the significant cost that would be required to repair it, any future aviation use is considered highly improbable.
