Río Verde (Lampazos) Airport

The closure was almost certainly due to private economic or logistical reasons. As a small, private airstrip (aeródromo), its operation was dependent on the owner's needs and financial ability to maintain it and an aircraft. There is no evidence of a specific event like a major accident, environmental issue, or military conversion. The gradual decay visible on satellite imagery points towards simple abandonment after it was no longer needed or financially viable for its private owner.

The site is completely abandoned as an airfield. Current satellite imagery shows a clearly visible but unusable dirt runway. The surface is heavily overgrown with scrub brush and grass, and it is bisected by several informal dirt tracks. The land has reverted to its surrounding use as rural ranchland and is not maintained for any aviation purposes.

The airport's significance was purely local and private. It was never a public or commercial airport. The 'MX-1944' identifier is a non-standard code used within Mexico for minor airfields not part of the primary national system. Its primary function would have been to serve a specific ranch or agricultural business, likely the Hacienda Río Verde. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, handling small, single-engine propeller aircraft for private transport or agricultural activities like crop dusting.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Río Verde (Lampazos) Airport. Given its remote location, its history as a small private-use strip, and the lack of any apparent economic or strategic demand in the area, the likelihood of it being restored and reopened for aviation is virtually non-existent.
