Aeródromo Ex Hacienda Sinaloa

The closure was primarily due to economic reasons tied to the agricultural operation it served. The name 'Ex Hacienda Sinaloa' (Former Sinaloa Ranch) implies that the original large-scale ranching or farming entity ceased to operate in its original capacity. Maintaining a private airstrip is a significant expense. When the parent business downsized, was sold, or changed its logistical model, the airfield became obsolete and was abandoned. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.

The aerodrome is permanently closed and abandoned. Satellite imagery confirms that the dirt/gravel runway is still clearly visible but is in a state of severe disrepair, overgrown with vegetation and showing signs of erosion. It is completely unusable for aviation. There are no aircraft, and any associated structures like hangars or sheds appear derelict. The surrounding land continues to be used for agriculture, and it is likely that parts of the airfield property have been reclaimed for farming or grazing.

Aeródromo Ex Hacienda Sinaloa was a private-use airstrip with local, rather than national, significance. Its primary purpose was to support the agricultural and business activities of the large 'Hacienda Sinaloa' located in the Ojos Negros valley, a significant agricultural region east of Ensenada. Operations would have included:
- General aviation flights for transporting the hacienda's owners, managers, and clients.
- Transport of high-value, time-sensitive cargo, such as seeds, specialized equipment parts, or veterinary supplies.
- Potentially serving as a base for crop-dusting aircraft, although its runway length (approximately 1,200 meters / 3,900 feet) could accommodate larger twin-engine propeller aircraft.
It is a typical example of the many private airfields built across Baja California during the 20th century to overcome challenging ground transportation logistics in remote agricultural areas.

There are no known or published plans to reopen Aeródromo Ex Hacienda Sinaloa. The significant cost required to restore the runway and any potential facilities, combined with the lack of a specific economic driver for its use, makes any prospect of reopening extremely low. The region is adequately served by other airfields for general and agricultural aviation, including the nearby Ojos Negros Airstrip (MM82) and the main Ensenada Airport (MMES).
