San Isidro Airport

The specific reason for its closure is unknown as public records for small, private airstrips are scarce. The closure was likely due to one or more of the following factors: 1) Economic Reasons: The ranch or agricultural business it served may have ceased operations or no longer required an airstrip. 2) Obsolescence: The owner may have abandoned the airstrip due to the high cost of maintenance and lack of use. 3) Security Concerns: Authorities in Mexico have been known to disable remote, private airstrips to prevent their use by cartels for illicit logistics, although there is no specific evidence this was the case here.

The site is abandoned and completely non-operational. Recent satellite imagery shows a clearly visible but unmaintained and overgrown dirt/gravel runway. There are no hangars, terminal buildings, or aircraft on site. The surrounding area is rural scrubland, and the former airstrip is slowly being reclaimed by nature. It is unusable for any form of aviation in its current condition.

San Isidro Airport was a small, private airstrip, not a public commercial airport. Its national identifier (MX-1979) is typical for minor airfields in Mexico. Its primary purpose was almost certainly to serve a large private ranch (rancho) or agricultural enterprise, a common practice in rural Mexico. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, handling light single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper) for transporting personnel, light supplies, or for agricultural aviation like crop-dusting. Its significance was purely local and tied to the economic activity of the property it was built on.

There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening San Isidro Airport. Given its remote location, deteriorated condition, and its original purpose as a small private strip, it is extremely unlikely that it will be restored or redeveloped for future aviation use. The land will most likely remain abandoned or be repurposed for agricultural use by local landowners.
