San Jose Airport

No official reason for the closure is publicly available. However, given its nature as a small, private, unpaved airstrip in a rural, agricultural area, the closure was almost certainly due to economic reasons. It was likely a private field that was abandoned when it was no longer needed or became too costly to maintain for its owner(s). It was not a public airport, so its closure would not have been a major event.

The airport is permanently closed and abandoned. The site is derelict. Satellite imagery clearly shows the X-shaped runway layout is still visible on the landscape, but the surfaces are completely overgrown with vegetation and are unusable for aircraft. The land has not been repurposed for another use (such as construction or farming) and appears to be fallow, slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding natural environment.

The airport's significance was purely local. It was a private general aviation airfield featuring two intersecting dirt/gravel runways. Its primary operations would have been to support the region's agricultural activities, such as crop dusting (fumigación aérea), and to serve as a private landing strip for local landowners and ranchers. It was never a commercial airport and did not handle scheduled passenger flights or significant cargo.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this airport. The area is adequately served by the nearby Nuevo Casas Grandes Municipal Airport (IATA: NCG, ICAO: MMCS), which is a larger, paved, and publicly operated facility. There is no economic or logistical incentive to invest in restoring a small, derelict dirt airstrip.
