Santo Domingo Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. Closure was most likely due to economic reasons. These types of private airstrips are typically built to serve a specific purpose, such as a large agricultural operation or a private ranch (hacienda). The airport was likely abandoned when the associated business ceased operations, changed ownership, or no longer required air access, making its maintenance no longer necessary or financially viable.

The site is completely abandoned. Satellite imagery shows a single, clearly visible but heavily deteriorated and unusable dirt runway in a remote desert area. There are no hangars, terminals, or any other aviation-related infrastructure remaining on the site. The land has reverted to undeveloped arid ranchland, with vehicle tracks crossing the former runway.

The airport had no major historical significance and was not a public facility. The identifier MX-1983 is a non-standard code used in databases to catalog small airfields, not an official ICAO code. It was a private, unpaved dirt airstrip. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation, serving the needs of a local ranch or agricultural enterprise for transporting personnel, light cargo, or for crop dusting. It never handled commercial or scheduled flights and consequently was never assigned an IATA code.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Santo Domingo Airport. Given its remote location, complete lack of infrastructure, and the private, specialized nature of its original function, any redevelopment for aviation purposes is extremely unlikely.
