Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Unknown, but evidence suggests it fell into disuse gradually between the late 1990s and early 2000s. As a private field, it likely did not have a formal, publicly announced closure date but was simply abandoned.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip ('aeródromo particular'), not a public facility. Its closure was most likely due to economic reasons, specifically the cessation of the private operation it was built to support. This could have been a ranch, agricultural business (the name 'Trigo' means wheat), or a local mining interest that was no longer viable or changed ownership. The existence of the main, public-use Sahuaripa Airport (ICAO: MM57) nearby would have made this private strip redundant for any general community or emergency use.

Current Status

The site is abandoned. Satellite imagery from recent years shows a clearly visible but unmaintained dirt runway. The surface is eroded and partially overgrown with vegetation, making it unusable for aircraft. There are no visible buildings, markings, or any signs of recent aviation activity. The land appears to be unused.

Historical Significance

The airport holds no major historical significance on a national or regional level. Its importance was strictly local and private. It served as a utility airstrip for light aircraft, such as Cessna or Piper models, capable of operating from a short, unpaved runway. Operations would have been limited to transporting personnel, light cargo, and supplies to and from a remote location in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, bypassing difficult ground transportation. It was a classic example of a 'ranch strip' essential for rural business and life in remote Mexico before road infrastructure improved.

Reopening Prospects

None. There are no known plans or economic incentives to reopen the airstrip. The region's general aviation needs are met by the Sahuaripa Airport (MM57). Re-establishing this private field would require significant private investment for a purpose that no longer appears to exist. It is functionally a permanent closure.
