The exact closure date is unknown, as this was a private airstrip that likely ceased operations gradually. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates it fell into disuse and became unmaintained sometime between the late 2000s and early 2010s.
The closure was not due to a singular event like an accident or military conversion. As a private airstrip, the reason was almost certainly economic and logistical. The owner of the agricultural property it served likely ceased aviation operations due to high costs, a change in ownership, or finding alternative methods for transportation and crop management.
The site is no longer an active airport. Current satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the runway, but it is unmaintained, partially overgrown with vegetation, and is now used as a farm track or access road for the agricultural operations on the property. There are no remaining airport facilities like hangars or terminals.
The airport held only local significance as a private aerodrome (aerĂłdromo). It consisted of a single dirt/gravel runway approximately 950 meters (3,100 feet) long. Its operations were limited to general aviation and agricultural aviation, likely supporting the surrounding pecan and walnut orchards with crop dusting, aerial surveying, and providing private air transport for the landowners. It never handled commercial, scheduled, or public flights. The identifier 'MX-2453' is not an official ICAO code but a non-standard identifier used in some unofficial databases.
There are no known official plans or prospects for reopening the Arroyo Seco Airport. Its reopening would be entirely dependent on a new private owner having a specific need for an airstrip and the financial resources to clear, restore, and maintain the runway. Given its remote location and the nature of its previous use, any prospect for reopening is considered extremely low.
