Unknown. The airport was a private airstrip and likely ceased official operations gradually or fell into disuse. There is no public record of a specific closure date, and it is not listed in current official Mexican aeronautical publications (AIP). This suggests it has been inactive or unlisted for many years, likely since the early 2000s.
The specific reason for its inactivity is not officially documented. As a private airfield, the most probable reasons are economic or a change in the owner's operational needs. This could include the sale of aircraft, a change in land ownership, or the cessation of the business it supported (e.g., a specific large-scale agricultural or ranching operation). There is no evidence it was closed due to a major accident, environmental issue, or military conversion.
The physical, unpaved runway (approximately 1,500 meters / 4,900 feet) remains intact and is clearly visible on satellite imagery. The site is part of a large, private agricultural or ranching property. While the runway itself does not appear to be obstructed or repurposed, there is no visual evidence of current or recent aviation activity, such as aircraft, vehicles, or hangar maintenance. The surrounding land is actively used for agriculture.
Los Violines Airport was a small, private airstrip, known in Mexico as an 'aeropista'. Its significance was purely local and private, built to serve the needs of the property owner. Operations would have been limited to light, general aviation aircraft (such as Cessna or Piper models) used for personal transportation, agricultural aviation (crop dusting), and logistical support for the vast ranches in the Villa Ahumada municipality. It never handled commercial, scheduled, or significant military traffic.
There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening or reactivating the airport. As it is located on private property, any future use for aviation would be solely at the discretion of the landowner. To be used officially, it would require inspection and registration with Mexico's Federal Civil Aviation Agency (Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil - AFAC).
