El Tecolote Airport

While there is no official statement, the most probable reason for closure is abandonment due to economic factors. As a small, private airstrip, its upkeep likely became unsustainable or unnecessary for the property owner. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site is an abandoned airfield. Satellite imagery confirms the dirt/gravel runway, approximately 1.2 km (0.75 miles) in length, remains visible but is in a state of disrepair. It is overgrown with vegetation and shows tracks from vehicles, indicating it is likely used as an access road for the local ranch or farm. There are no hangars, terminals, or any other active aviation infrastructure on the site.

El Tecolote was a private-use airstrip. Its name, which translates to 'The Owl', is common for ranches in Mexico, strongly indicating it served a large, private agricultural or cattle ranch. Its operations would have been limited to general aviation, supporting light aircraft such as Cessna or Piper models for personal transport of the ranch owners, guests, or for agricultural purposes like crop dusting.

There are no known or published plans to reopen El Tecolote Airport. Given its remote location, private nature, and deteriorated condition, any prospect of reopening would require significant private investment from a new landowner with a specific need for an airstrip. It is not considered a candidate for public or commercial redevelopment.
