José Esteban Coronado Airport

The specific reason is not officially recorded. However, given the airport's small size, remote rural location, and lack of significant infrastructure, the closure was almost certainly due to economic reasons and/or a lack of use. Small, private airstrips of this nature are often abandoned when they are no longer financially viable to maintain or when the primary user ceases operations.

The site is abandoned. Satellite imagery clearly shows the faint outline of the former dirt runway, but it is deteriorated, partially overgrown with desert scrub, and unusable for aircraft. There are no remaining buildings, hangars, or any other airport infrastructure on the site. The land has effectively reverted to unused desert ranchland.

José Esteban Coronado Airport was a small, local airstrip, not a commercial airport. Its ICAO identifier, MX-2342, is a national code, not an official international one, which is typical for minor airfields. It featured a single, unpaved dirt runway. Its operations were limited to general aviation, likely serving private pilots, local ranchers, and agricultural purposes such as crop dusting for the surrounding farms in the municipality of Coronado, Chihuahua. It held no major regional or national significance and did not handle scheduled passenger or cargo flights.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the airport. Due to its remote location, the probable economic reasons for its original closure, and the significant investment that would be required to restore the runway and facilities, a reopening is considered highly improbable.
