Bermejillo Airport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly recorded. However, the airport's characteristics—a single unpaved runway with minimal infrastructure—strongly suggest it was a private or utility airstrip. Closures of such airfields are typically due to economic factors, such as the owner no longer requiring air access, prohibitive maintenance costs, or the airfield becoming obsolete due to improved regional ground transportation. There is no evidence of closure due to a major accident or military conversion.

The airport is completely abandoned and defunct. Satellite imagery from its coordinates (25.89327, -103.63292) shows the faint, eroded outline of the former dirt runway. The land is unused and unmaintained, with vehicle tracks indicating it may be used as an informal local road. There are no significant structures remaining on the site, and the area is slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding arid environment.

Bermejillo Airport was a small, private-use airfield. Its primary function was likely to support local industry and agriculture in the Mapimí municipality, a region known for mining and farming. The airport featured a single dirt runway (approximately 1,500 meters / 4,900 feet), suitable for light general aviation aircraft. Operations would have included transport for personnel and light cargo for local businesses, aerial surveying for mining operations, and potentially agricultural aviation like crop dusting. It never served commercial passenger airlines and lacked a terminal, control tower, or other significant airport infrastructure.

There are no known or published plans to reopen Bermejillo Airport. The prospect of reopening is extremely low. Any future air service needs for the region are adequately met by the much larger and fully-equipped Francisco Sarabia International Airport (IATA: TRC) in nearby Torreón. Re-establishing the airfield would require significant investment to build a modern runway and facilities, for which there is no apparent economic demand.
