Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Approximately between 2010 and 2015. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the runway was unobstructed in the late 2000s. By the mid-2010s, large industrial buildings were constructed directly on the southern portion of the airfield, indicating its permanent closure during that period.

Reason for Closure

Economic redevelopment and industrial expansion. The land occupied by the airport was repurposed for the growth of the 'Parque Industrial Roca Fuerte,' a major manufacturing and maquiladora zone in Guaymas. The construction of large factories, such as the TE Connectivity plant, on the former runway and airport grounds made continued aviation operations impossible. Its role was likely deemed redundant due to the proximity of the larger, full-service Guaymas International Airport (MMGM).

Current Status

The site has been fully converted for industrial use and is no longer recognizable as an active airport. The southern half of the former runway is now occupied by large manufacturing facilities. The northern portion of the runway is still faintly visible from satellite view but is heavily deteriorated, partially built over, and completely unusable for any aviation activity. The area is now an integral part of the Parque Industrial Roca Fuerte.

Historical Significance

La Misa Airport was a small general aviation airfield. It primarily served private aircraft, small charter flights, and likely business aviation supporting the adjacent industrial parks. With a single, relatively short runway (approximately 1,300 meters) and minimal infrastructure, it functioned as a secondary airfield for the Guaymas area. It played a role in providing convenient air access for local businesses and private pilots before the land became more valuable for industrial development.

Reopening Prospects

Zero. There are no known plans or prospects for reopening La Misa Airport. The significant and permanent industrial infrastructure built directly on the former airfield makes its reactivation physically impossible and economically unfeasible. The region's aviation needs are adequately served by the nearby Guaymas International Airport (ICAO: MMGM).
