Huejotitán Airport

No official reason for the closure has been published. The most probable cause is economic obsolescence and abandonment. Small, private, or municipal dirt airstrips in remote areas often fall into disuse as the specific economic activities they supported (such as local mining, agriculture, or ranching) decline, or as ground transportation infrastructure improves. The cost of maintenance becomes prohibitive for the limited or non-existent traffic.

The site is completely abandoned and non-operational. Satellite imagery confirms the presence of a clearly defined but unmaintained dirt runway. The surface is weathered, partially overgrown with vegetation, and shows signs of being used as a simple track or road by local farm vehicles. There are no remaining airport infrastructure, such as hangars, terminals, or aviation fuel services.

Huejotitán Airport was a small, local airstrip (aeródromo) with no major historical significance on a national level. Its importance was confined to the immediate rural area of Huejotitán in Chihuahua. When active, it would have handled general aviation traffic, consisting of small, single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper). Its operations likely supported local industries such as agriculture (crop dusting, transport for large ranches) or mining, providing access to a remote region. The runway is a dirt strip approximately 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) in length, suitable only for VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations with light aircraft.

There are no known plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening Huejotitán Airport. Given its remote location, the rudimentary nature of the facility (unpaved runway), and the lack of apparent economic demand in the immediate area, a significant investment would be required for its reactivation. The proximity of other operational airports, such as Hidalgo del Parral Airport (MMHL) approximately 60 km to the northeast, makes the reopening of this small airstrip economically unviable.
