San Lucas el Viejo Airstrip

No official reason has been documented. Given its nature as a small, private, rural dirt strip with no significant infrastructure, the closure was likely due to economic factors. This could include the cessation of the agricultural or business activity it supported, the high cost of aircraft operation and maintenance, or the owner no longer having a need for it. It was not a public airport, so its closure would not have been a public event.

The site is abandoned and completely unusable as an airstrip. The physical location of the runway is still visible in satellite imagery, but it is heavily overgrown with vegetation and shows signs of erosion. There are no buildings, hangars, or any aviation infrastructure remaining. The land appears to be reverting to its natural state, surrounded by active agricultural fields.

The airstrip holds no major historical significance on a national or regional level. It was a private, unimproved utility airstrip, typical of many found in rural Mexico. Its operations would have been limited to serving local needs, most likely for agricultural aviation (crop dusting/fumigation) given the surrounding farmland, or for private, light aircraft transport for the owners of a local ranch or business. It was designed to handle small, single-engine, STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) capable aircraft.

There are no known or published plans to reopen the San Lucas el Viejo Airstrip. Due to its remote location, deteriorated condition, and the likely disappearance of the original economic driver for its existence, the prospect of it being restored and reopened for aviation purposes is extremely low.
