Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Estimated to be in the late 2010s, likely between 2017 and 2019. There is no official public record of a specific closure date, as it was a private facility. This estimation is based on analysis of historical satellite imagery which shows a significant decline in maintenance and the absence of aircraft from that period onward.

Reason for Closure

The exact reason is not publicly documented. However, given its nature as a private airstrip in a rural, agricultural area, the closure was most likely due to economic factors. Common reasons for such closures include the owner no longer having a need for the airstrip, the sale of the associated property, the business it supported ceasing operations, or the cost of maintenance and compliance becoming prohibitive. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to a major accident, military conversion, or a specific government order.

Current Status

As of the latest available information and satellite imagery, the airport is definitively closed and non-operational. The dirt runway, while still clearly visible from the air, is unmaintained, eroded, and shows signs of being used as a simple access road for vehicles. Any associated structures, such as hangars or sheds, appear to be in a state of disuse or have been repurposed for agricultural storage. The site has reverted to agricultural or ranch land use.

Historical Significance

The airport held local, not national, significance. It functioned as a private-use general aviation facility. Its primary operations were likely tied to the region's agricultural and ranching economy. This would have included:
- Supporting local agribusiness (e.g., crop dusting, aerial surveys of land and livestock).
- Providing private air transport for landowners, business personnel, and guests to and from this relatively remote region of Chihuahua.
- Facilitating the movement of light cargo, parts, or supplies.
It was a typical dirt/gravel airstrip designed for small, single-engine aircraft and was not equipped for commercial passenger service or large-scale operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen Casa de Adobe Airport. As a privately owned facility, any potential for reopening would depend entirely on the current landowner's initiative and financial investment. Given the likely high cost of restoring the runway and facilities to a safe, operational standard, and the lack of apparent commercial demand, reopening is considered highly unlikely in the foreseeable future.
