The exact date is unknown. Small, private airstrips like El Hueso often do not have an officially documented closure date but rather fall into disuse over time. It has been listed as 'closed' in unofficial aviation databases since at least the early 2010s, and satellite imagery shows a steady decline in maintenance over the last two decades.
Economic reasons and/or change in land use. The airport was a small, private dirt strip, characteristic of an agricultural or ranching airstrip ('pista de aterrizaje'). These are typically closed when the owner no longer operates an aircraft, the land is sold, or the agricultural operation it served is no longer economically viable. There is no evidence to suggest military conversion or closure due to a specific accident.
The airport is abandoned and non-operational. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (28.89853, -105.31208) shows a clearly visible but deteriorated and unmaintained dirt runway in the middle of active farmland. The strip appears overgrown in places and is likely used as a simple access road for farm vehicles. There are no hangars, terminals, or other airport infrastructure at the site.
El Hueso Airport held no major regional or national significance. It was a private general aviation airfield, likely serving a single ranch or agricultural business in the Aldama municipality. Its operations would have been limited to small, single-engine aircraft used for personal transportation, crop dusting ('fumigación aérea'), or other farm-related activities. It never supported commercial, scheduled, or significant military operations. The ICAO identifier 'MX-2059' is an unofficial code used by some databases and not an official designation from the Mexican government, further indicating its private and unofficial status.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening El Hueso Airport. Given its rudimentary nature, private ownership, and the proximity of the much larger General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport (MMCU) in Chihuahua City (approximately 55 km to the southwest), there is no practical or economic incentive for its reactivation.
