Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Unknown. The airport was a small, private airstrip, and its closure was not officially documented. Based on its state of disrepair visible in historical satellite imagery, it likely ceased operations informally in the late 20th or early 21st century.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason is not officially recorded, but the closure was almost certainly due to economic factors or abandonment. Small agricultural airstrips of this nature are typically closed when they are no longer needed, become financially unviable for their private owners, or the land is repurposed.

Current Status

The airport is abandoned and defunct. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (29.22029, -105.44571) shows the clear outline of a former dirt runway. The surface is now overgrown with vegetation and crossed by numerous vehicle tracks. There are no remaining airport facilities or buildings, and the land appears to be unused or has reverted to rangeland.

Historical Significance

Estación Colonias Airport was a minor, private dirt airstrip. Its primary purpose was to serve the local agricultural community in the Aldama region of Chihuahua. Operations would have consisted of general aviation aircraft, specifically for crop dusting (fumigación aérea) and other agricultural support tasks. It never handled commercial, scheduled passenger, or significant cargo traffic. The ICAO identifier 'MX-2080' is an unofficial code used in some databases for minor airfields in Mexico, not a formal code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Estación Colonias Airport. Given its remote location, state of complete disrepair, and the likely lack of economic demand, its reactivation is highly improbable.
