Todos Santos Airport?

onfinal - 10-10-2007 at 07:42 PM

Does anyone on this website have any information on the status of the airport at Todos Santos? It was "closed" a few years back but appeared to be in good shape. Is that airpot now open, and if not, who can I contact to ask permission to land there? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks,

Here is the Todos Santos forum: http://www.bajabushpilots.com/yabbse/index.php?board=85

Last reports say the strip is barracated with barrels on the runway to prevent landings... Perhaps open only with advanced notice, as the runway is there and looks otherwise good.

Contact Capt. Mike or Cap.....both Nomads. Look them up and send a U2U.

i have heard thats its privatly owned, and has been opened by special permission of the owner.( i dont know for sure that has happened) id be interested especially if there was secure tiedowns offered. keep us informed if you find any further info.

every time i contacted the owner via contacts given on BBP i got nada in response.

too bad cause i'd love to go there but not by driving. my rig is limited to 25 mile radii de mulege.

There are some plans in the works, but timing is debatable. As soon as I get more info I will share.
