San Pedro Corralitos Airport

The closure was due to economic and land-use reasons. The airstrip was located on private agricultural land, and the owners repurposed the land for more profitable farming activities. Satellite imagery clearly shows the former runway area has been fully converted into cultivated fields. The expansion of center-pivot irrigation farming in the region made the land more valuable for crops than for maintaining a private airstrip. There is no evidence of military conversion, a major accident, or urban development leading to its closure.

The site of the former airport is now actively and completely used for agriculture. The dirt runway has been tilled over and integrated into the surrounding farmland. Cultivation patterns and irrigation lines run directly across the former runway's path. There are no remaining aviation facilities, such as hangars, windsock, or markings. The land is part of a large, productive agricultural operation.

San Pedro Corralitos was a private airstrip (aeródromo) serving local agricultural and ranching interests in the vast plains of northern Chihuahua. Its significance was not public or commercial, but rather logistical for the large-scale farming operations common in the Nuevo Casas Grandes municipality. It would have handled light general aviation aircraft, such as Cessna or Piper models, used for personnel transport, property oversight, and potentially agricultural aviation (crop dusting). The 'MX-1989' identifier is a non-standard, national-level code assigned to minor airfields, indicating it was never part of Mexico's primary network of public airports regulated by the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC).

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been fully and permanently converted to valuable agricultural use. Re-establishing an airstrip would require taking this productive land out of cultivation and would necessitate significant investment. Given its private nature and the lack of any apparent public or commercial demand, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
