Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2015 and 2018. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airstrip was maintained and appeared active until at least 2015. By 2018 and in subsequent years, the runway shows clear signs of disuse, overgrowth, and lack of maintenance, suggesting it was abandoned during this period.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip. Closures of such facilities are typically for economic or operational reasons. It is highly probable that the owner ceased aviation operations due to high maintenance costs, a change in business needs (e.g., transitioning away from crop dusting), or the sale of the property. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, environmental concerns, or military conversion.

Current Status

The airport is definitively closed and abandoned. The site's former 1,500-meter (approx. 4,900 ft) dirt runway is still clearly visible on satellite imagery but is in a state of disrepair. It is overgrown with vegetation and is crossed by numerous farm tracks, indicating the land has been integrated back into the surrounding ranch or agricultural fields. There are no aviation facilities or operations at the site.

Historical Significance

Agua Caliente Airport (also known as a private 'aeropista') served as a local, private aviation facility. Its primary role was likely to support the extensive agricultural operations in the surrounding Valle del Yaqui, one of Mexico's most important agricultural regions. Operations would have included agricultural aviation (crop dusting and spraying) and general aviation for the transport of personnel, parts, and supplies for the ranch or farm it served. Its significance was purely functional and local, providing critical air access for a large agricultural enterprise, rather than serving the public.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Agua Caliente Airport. As a privately-owned airstrip that has been abandoned for several years, any reopening would require significant private investment from a new or current owner with a specific need for an aviation facility. Given the availability of other airports in the region, including Ciudad Obregón International Airport (MMCN), the prospect of this small, private strip being restored and reopened is extremely low.
