Rancho San Pedro de Agua Dulce Airport

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented, which is common for a private airstrip. However, the most probable cause is a change in the operational needs or economic status of the ranch it served. Likely scenarios include: a change in ranch ownership to someone who did not require an airstrip, the high cost of maintenance and aircraft operation becoming unviable, or the original owner who used the strip ceasing their aviation activities. The closure was not related to military conversion or a known major accident.

The site is abandoned. The former dirt/gravel runway is no longer maintained and is heavily overgrown with desert scrub, making it completely unsuitable for aviation. The land has effectively reverted to its natural state as part of the surrounding ranch property. There are no remaining buildings or infrastructure directly associated with the airstrip visible on current satellite imagery.

The airport's significance was entirely private and logistical. It was not a public airport and had no scheduled commercial or military operations. Its sole purpose was to serve the 'Rancho San Pedro de Agua Dulce', a large, remote ranching or agricultural property. Operations would have consisted of light general aviation aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper models) used for transporting the ranch owner, personnel, guests, and essential supplies. The ICAO code 'MX-2216' is a pseudo-identifier used in unofficial databases, indicating it was not a formally registered public aerodrome.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Any future reactivation would be entirely dependent on the private owner of the Rancho San Pedro de Agua Dulce. It would require significant investment to clear, grade, and restore the runway. Given its remote location and private nature, there is no foreseeable commercial or public interest in its reopening.
