Salvatierra Airport

The closure was most likely due to economic factors and obsolescence. As a small, unpaved private airstrip, its existence was probably tied to a specific local agricultural business or ranch. Common reasons for the closure of such airfields include the sale of the property, changes in agricultural practices (e.g., reduced need for crop dusters), or the owner finding it no longer economically viable to maintain. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The airport is completely abandoned and derelict. The site, as seen in current satellite imagery, shows the faint, overgrown outline of a single dirt runway. There are no remaining buildings, hangars, or any signs of aviation infrastructure. The land is fallow and surrounded by active agricultural operations, but the former airport grounds themselves are unused.

Salvatierra Airport was a minor general aviation airfield with local, rather than national, significance. Its primary role was to support the intensive agricultural industry in the San Quintín Valley. Operations would have consisted of light aircraft used for crop dusting ('fumigación aérea'), transportation for farm owners and managers, and potentially other private general aviation activities. It was not a commercial airport and never handled scheduled passenger or cargo services.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Salvatierra Airport. The airfield is too small, degraded, and obsolete to meet modern aviation needs. Any future aviation development in the San Quintín region, which has been discussed by government officials to support tourism and agricultural exports, would involve the construction of a new, modern airport at a different, more suitable location, not the rehabilitation of this long-abandoned strip.
