La Serna (Tres Potros) Airport

While there is no official statement on the reason for closure, the evidence strongly suggests economic factors and a change in land use. As a small, private airstrip, its operation was likely tied to the economic activity of a specific ranch or agricultural business. The closure was most likely due to the cessation of the owner's aviation activities, the sale of the property, or the operational costs of maintaining the airstrip becoming prohibitive. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident, regulatory action, or conversion to military use.

The site is currently agricultural land. The former runway is no longer maintained and is heavily overgrown with vegetation, making it completely unusable for any aviation operations. The faint outline of the runway is still visible on satellite imagery, and it appears to be used as a simple dirt track for farm vehicles to access the surrounding fields. There are no significant buildings or functional airport infrastructure remaining on the site.

La Serna (Tres Potros) Airport was a private airstrip with local, rather than national, significance. Its name, 'Tres Potros' (Three Colts), suggests it was associated with a private ranch. Its primary function was likely to support general aviation for the ranch's owners and for agricultural purposes, such as crop dusting (aerial fumigation), which is common in this region of Chihuahua. The airport featured a single dirt/gravel runway approximately 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) in length, capable of handling light aircraft like Cessnas, Pipers, and specialized agricultural planes. It never served as a public commercial airport and did not handle scheduled passenger or cargo traffic.

There are no known official or unofficial plans to reopen La Serna (Tres Potros) Airport. Given its complete reversion to farmland and its history as a private-use strip, the prospects for reopening are considered extremely low to non-existent. A revival would require a significant private investment to clear the land, reconstruct the runway, and build new facilities, for which there is no apparent public or commercial demand.
