Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is unknown as there was no official announcement. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport was well-maintained in the early 2000s but shows significant degradation and disuse by 2011. It is estimated to have been abandoned sometime in the mid-to-late 2000s.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip, and its closure was likely due to gradual abandonment for economic reasons. This is common for private airfields when the associated business (like a ranch or farm) ceases operations, changes ownership, or no longer requires or can afford to maintain an airstrip. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident, military conversion, or environmental issues.

Current Status

The site is completely abandoned. Satellite imagery clearly shows the remnants of two unpaved, intersecting runways. The runways are severely eroded, unmaintained, and are being reclaimed by the surrounding desert scrubland. There is no infrastructure on the site, such as hangars, terminals, or fencing. The land is unused and appears to have reverted to its natural state.

Historical Significance

Los Berrendos Airport was a private airfield with purely local significance. Its name, 'Los Berrendos' (The Pronghorns), strongly suggests it served a large private ranch or hunting lodge in the remote Chihuahuan Desert. When active, it handled general aviation aircraft, such as small single-engine planes (e.g., Cessnas, Pipers). Operations would have been limited to transporting the property owners, guests, and supplies, as well as potentially supporting ranching or hunting activities. It never served commercial, scheduled, or public flights.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Los Berrendos Airport. Given its remote location, the complete lack of infrastructure, and the disappearance of its original private purpose, the likelihood of it being reopened is virtually zero. It holds no strategic or commercial value that would warrant the significant investment needed for its restoration and operation.
