Acebuches Airport

While no official reason has been published, the closure is almost certainly due to economic or logistical factors. Small, private airstrips like Acebuches are typically built to serve a specific purpose, such as a large ranch, a mining operation, or a hunting lodge. The closure likely corresponds with the cessation of the activity it was built to support, or the owner no longer having the need or financial resources to maintain it. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.

The site is currently abandoned as an airfield. Satellite imagery confirms the dirt runway is still clearly visible but is unmaintained, weathered, and overgrown in places. There are vehicle tracks on and around the strip, suggesting it may be used as a local access road by the property owners, but it is not in a condition to be used by aircraft. The associated facilities, if any existed, appear to be gone or in ruins. The airport is definitively closed and non-operational.

Acebuches Airport was a small, private dirt airstrip located in an extremely remote and sparsely populated area of the Ocampo municipality. Its significance was purely logistical, providing vital air access for light aircraft to a location far from reliable road infrastructure. It would have been used by general aviation aircraft, such as Cessna or Piper models, capable of operating from short, unpaved runways. The operations it handled were exclusively private, likely related to agriculture (ranching), resource exploration (mining), or private recreational activities. The ICAO code 'MX-2009' is not an official ICAO identifier but rather a regional or internal designator used in some non-governmental databases to track smaller airfields in Mexico.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening Acebuches Airport. Given its remote location, private nature, and current state of disrepair, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely. A significant new economic development, such as a major mining discovery directly on or adjacent to the site, would be required to create a need for its reactivation.
