San Fermín Airport

The closure was due to economic reasons and the cessation of its private operational need. Airstrips of this nature are typically tied to a specific ranch, agricultural, or mining operation. The closure likely occurred because the owner no longer required it, the property was sold, or the associated economic activity was no longer viable. It was not closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or public mandate.

The airport is completely abandoned and defunct. The former dirt/gravel runway is no longer visible from the ground and is heavily overgrown with desert scrub and vegetation, making it indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain except from a direct aerial view. The site has reverted to undeveloped ranch land and is unusable for any aviation purposes. There are no remaining structures or facilities.

San Fermín Airport was a private, unpaved airstrip. Its historical significance is tied to the private entity it served, believed to be the 'Rancho San Fermín'. It never handled commercial passenger or cargo traffic. Operations would have been limited to small, general aviation aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper) used for personal transportation for the ranch owners, moving supplies, and potentially for agricultural activities like crop dusting over the vast rural landscape of Durango.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening San Fermín Airport. Given its remote location, private origin, and complete state of disrepair, its restoration is economically unfeasible and there is no public or commercial demand for an airport at this specific location. The prospect of it ever reopening is virtually zero.
