Likely closed between 2010 and 2015. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a clear, usable dirt runway in 2009, but by 2016, the area had been visibly plowed over and integrated into the surrounding agricultural fields. The exact date is not documented in public records as it was a private airstrip.
Economic and operational reasons by its private owner. The airstrip was located on land belonging to a large agricultural company (Productos Pecuarios de Cebampo S.A. de C.V.). The land was repurposed for direct agricultural use. This is evidenced by satellite imagery showing the runway area being converted into farmland. There is no indication of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.
The site is no longer an airport. The land has been fully converted into agricultural fields and is used for crop cultivation. The faint outline of the former runway is no longer visible on current satellite imagery, having been completely absorbed by the surrounding farmland. The associated agricultural facility remains active.
Cebampo Airport was a small, private dirt airstrip. Its significance was purely logistical for its owner. It primarily served the adjacent agricultural and livestock operations. Its operations would have included:
- **Crop Dusting (Fumigación Aérea):** Supporting the vast farming operations in the area.
- **Executive/Personnel Transport:** Flying owners, managers, or specialists to and from the remote facility.
- **General Aviation:** Handling small, private aircraft for business purposes.
It was never a public or commercial airport and did not handle scheduled passenger flights. The identifier MX-2404 is an unofficial, internal designator, not a formal ICAO code (which would start with 'MM' for Mexico).
There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening Cebampo Airport. The land has been permanently repurposed for a different economic use by its owner. Furthermore, the nearby town of Álamos is adequately served by the public Álamos National Airport (ICAO: MM45, IATA: XAL), which accommodates the region's general aviation traffic, making a new private strip at this location redundant and highly improbable.
