Ojos de San Antonio Airport

The closure appears to be due to abandonment. As a small, private airstrip, the most probable reasons are economic or a change in operational need. This could include the sale of the property to a new owner who did not require an airfield, the cessation of the business or agricultural activity it supported, or the high cost of maintenance relative to its use. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The airport is permanently closed and abandoned. The site remains an unmaintained former airfield. The outline of the north-south runway is still clearly visible in satellite imagery, but the surface is deteriorated and overgrown with desert scrub. There are no significant buildings or infrastructure on the site, and the land appears to have reverted to undeveloped rangeland, consistent with the surrounding environment.

Ojos de San Antonio Airport was a private-use airfield serving the rural area around Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua. Its significance was purely local. It featured a single dirt/gravel runway (designated 17/35) approximately 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) in length. Operations were limited to general aviation and likely supported a large local ranch (hacienda) or agricultural enterprise. Its functions would have included private transportation for the property owners, logistical support for the ranch, and possibly agricultural aviation such as crop dusting.

There are no known or published plans to reopen Ojos de San Antonio Airport. Given its private nature, remote location, and the cost required to restore the runway and facilities, the prospect of it reopening for any aviation purpose is extremely low. Any future use would be at the sole discretion of the private landowner.
