Los Aniegos Airport

The reason for closure is not publicly recorded, which is common for small, private airfields. The most probable reason is economic or logistical. As a private airstrip likely serving a specific ranch or agricultural business, it was probably abandoned when the owner no longer required air access, sold the property, or found the cost of maintaining the runway prohibitive for its limited use.

The site is currently an abandoned and defunct airstrip. High-resolution satellite imagery shows the faint, overgrown outline of a single runway. The land has been reclaimed by the surrounding natural vegetation and is completely unusable for aviation. There are no remaining buildings, hangars, or any other aviation-related infrastructure at the location. The land appears to be part of the surrounding undeveloped ranchland.

Los Aniegos Airport held no major national or regional significance. It was a private-use dirt/gravel airstrip (aeropista) serving the needs of local ranching or agricultural operations in a remote area of Coahuila. Its operations would have been restricted to VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions and would have consisted of small, single-engine general aviation aircraft. These planes were likely used for personnel transport to the ranch, aerial surveying of the property, or agricultural purposes like crop dusting. It never served commercial, military, or scheduled passenger flights.

There are no known or published plans to reopen Los Aniegos Airport. Given its remote location, its original private function, and the lack of any apparent economic driver in the immediate vicinity that would necessitate an airport, the prospects for its reopening are virtually zero.
