The exact date of closure is not officially documented. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport fell into disuse sometime between 2015 and 2018. Imagery from 2015 shows a well-defined and maintained dirt runway, suggesting it was active. By 2018, the runway shows significant signs of neglect and vegetation growth, indicating it was no longer being maintained or used for regular operations.
There is no official public record stating the reason for the closure. Given the airport's nature as a small, private-use dirt airstrip with minimal infrastructure, the closure was most likely due to economic reasons or abandonment. This could include the cessation of the agricultural or business operations it supported, the owner no longer having a need for an airstrip, or the cost of maintenance becoming prohibitive. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.
The site is currently abandoned and unserviceable. Satellite imagery confirms that the former dirt runway is still visible but is heavily overgrown with vegetation and eroded. There are no buildings or significant infrastructure on the site. The surrounding area remains active agricultural land. The airport grounds themselves are not being used for any other purpose and are effectively fallow land.
Técori Airport was a small, private airfield with no record of scheduled commercial or public passenger service. Its ICAO identifier, MX-2491, is a domestic code for small airfields in Mexico, not a standard international designation. Located in the heart of the Yaqui Valley, a major agricultural region, its primary function was almost certainly to support local general aviation. Operations would have consisted of light aircraft for agricultural purposes (such as crop dusting and fumigation), private transportation for local ranch owners or businesses, and potentially recreational flying. Its significance was purely local and tied to the private entity that owned and operated it.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Técori Airport. Given its state of disrepair, its private nature, and its close proximity to the fully-equipped Ciudad Obregón International Airport (MMCN/CEN) located approximately 30 km to the northwest, there is no public or commercial demand for its reactivation. Any reopening would be dependent on a private entity investing significant funds to clear, regrade, and maintain the runway for a specific private need, which is considered highly unlikely.
