Las Arcinas Airport

The airport was a private airfield. Its cessation of regular activity was not due to a singular event like a major accident, safety mandate, or military conversion. The most probable reason is economic and operational, tied to the private agricultural enterprise it supported. Reasons typically include the sale of the property, a shift in farming techniques away from aerial application, or the owner no longer operating aircraft.

As of the latest available satellite imagery, the site still features a clearly defined but unpaved runway in the middle of agricultural fields. There is no visible infrastructure such as hangars, terminals, or lighting, and the runway surface appears unmaintained. The land has not been repurposed or built upon; it simply remains as an abandoned or very seldom-used airstrip within a private agricultural property.

Las Arcinas Airport's significance was purely local and functional. It served as a private agricultural airstrip (ag-strip) for a large ranch or farming operation in the Ascensión municipality, a major agricultural region in Chihuahua. Operations would have primarily consisted of agricultural aviation, such as crop dusting, seeding, and fertilization, using specialized aircraft like Air Tractors or Thrush Commanders. It may have also been used for light general aviation transport for the property's owners and staff. It was never a public, commercial, or military airport.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Las Arcinas Airport. Its future is entirely at the discretion of the private landowner. Given its remote location, lack of infrastructure, and the existence of other regional airports, it is extremely unlikely to ever be developed for public or commercial use. Any potential reactivation would be for private agricultural purposes, should the landowner have a future need for it.
