Ejido Venustiano Carranza Airport

No official reason for closure has been published. However, the most probable cause is economic obsolescence and abandonment. Small, private agricultural airstrips like this one are often closed when the local farming cooperative or business that owns them ceases operations, finds the cost of maintaining aircraft and the runway prohibitive, or consolidates its aviation activities at a larger regional airport.

The site is abandoned and completely unusable as an airport. Current satellite imagery clearly shows the faint outline of the original dirt runway. However, it is heavily overgrown with shrubs and other vegetation, and the surface is significantly eroded. There is no remaining infrastructure, such as hangars or service buildings. The land is currently unused and is slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding natural environment.

The airport's significance was entirely local, serving the agricultural community of Ejido Venustiano Carranza and the wider Mayo Valley, a major agricultural region in Sonora. Its primary, and likely sole, purpose was agricultural aviation ('aerofumigación' or crop dusting). It would have supported small, specialized aircraft for spraying pesticides and fertilizers on the surrounding fields. It never handled commercial passenger traffic or significant general aviation. The identifier MX-2348 is not an official ICAO code (which start with 'MM' for Mexico), but rather a designation from non-official aviation databases, highlighting its status as a minor, private field.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the Ejido Venustiano Carranza Airport. Given its advanced state of decay, the high cost of refurbishment, and the availability of services from larger, modern airports in the region (like Ciudad Obregón International Airport, MMCN), it is considered permanently closed and abandoned.
