Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not officially documented. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery, the airstrip appears to have fallen into disuse and became unmaintained sometime between the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Reason for Closure

No official reason for the closure has been published. However, the most likely reasons are economic. As a small, private aerodrome, its closure was likely due to the cessation of the owner's business operations (such as a large agricultural enterprise), the high cost of maintenance versus its utility, or the consolidation of local aviation activities to the much larger Francisco Sarabia International Airport (TRC) in nearby Torreón.

Current Status

The site is an abandoned airfield. Current satellite imagery shows a clearly defined but completely unmaintained and overgrown dirt runway. The land has effectively reverted to agricultural use, consistent with the surrounding area. Any associated structures, like hangars or sheds, appear to be in a state of disrepair or are being used for farm storage. The airstrip is not operational.

Historical Significance

El Pacifico Airport was a small, private airstrip, not a public or commercial airport. Its ICAO code, MX-2481, is a non-standard identifier, not an official one assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (which uses 'MM' prefixes for Mexico). Its primary role was almost certainly serving the local agricultural industry in the Comarca Lagunera region, a major farming area. Operations would have consisted of general aviation aircraft, specifically crop dusters and other small planes used for agricultural spraying and transportation for a private farm or company. It held no significance for commercial passenger or military operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening El Pacifico Airport. Given its status as a small, private airstrip and the close proximity of the major Francisco Sarabia International Airport in Torreón, which adequately serves the entire metropolitan area's aviation needs, there is no public or commercial demand for its reactivation.
