Tres Picos Airport

Economic reasons and obsolescence. As a small, rural airstrip, its use likely declined as the regional road network improved, making ground transportation more viable. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or environmental issue. The closure appears to be a result of gradual abandonment due to a lack of demand and high maintenance costs relative to its utility.

The airport is permanently closed and completely abandoned. The site is in a state of total disrepair. The former runway is overgrown with dense grass, shrubs, and other vegetation, making it unusable for any aviation purposes. The faint outline of the airstrip is still visible in satellite imagery, but the land has been reclaimed by nature and is currently unused.

Tres Picos Airport was a minor general aviation airfield. Its primary role was to support local agricultural activities, such as crop dusting and fumigation, in the coastal region of Chiapas. It also served private landowners and businesses for light transport and access to remote properties. The airport featured a single unpaved (dirt or gravel) runway, estimated to be around 1,200 meters long, suitable only for small, single-engine propeller aircraft. It never hosted commercial passenger or scheduled cargo operations.

There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening Tres Picos Airport. Given its complete deterioration, the significant cost required for reconstruction, and the apparent lack of modern demand for such a facility in the area, the likelihood of it ever being restored for aviation use is virtually zero.
