Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is unknown. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airstrip was in a usable condition in the mid-2000s but shows significant degradation and overgrowth by the early 2010s. It was likely abandoned sometime between 2005 and 2015.

Reason for Closure

No official reason for the closure has been documented. As a small, private airstrip, the most probable cause is abandonment due to economic factors. This often occurs when the property owner sells the land, no longer operates an aircraft, or ceases to fund the maintenance of the runway. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, environmental issue, or military conversion.

Current Status

The site is completely abandoned. High-resolution satellite imagery shows the faint outline of a single dirt runway that is severely weathered, overgrown with Chihuahuan Desert vegetation, and bisected by informal dirt tracks. There are no visible structures such as hangars, terminals, or fencing remaining. The land has reverted to its natural, undeveloped state and the airstrip is unusable.

Historical Significance

Punta de Agua Airport was a private-use, unpaved airstrip. Its ICAO code, MX-2075, signifies it was a registered airfield within Mexico's civil aviation system, but not for public use. Its significance was entirely local, likely serving the 'Punta de Agua' ranch or property on which it was located. Operations would have been limited to light, general aviation aircraft (e.g., Cessna or Piper models) for personal transportation, ranching activities, or agricultural purposes. It never hosted commercial, scheduled, or military operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Punta de Agua Airport. Given its remote location, complete state of disrepair, and its origin as a private-use facility, any prospect of revival is extremely unlikely. Re-establishing the airport would require a full reconstruction of the runway and a new, private purpose for the significant investment.
