I am searching for the length of the runway at Aeropuerto Sombrerete, Zacatecas, México, so far without success.

Grateful for any info.

Muchas gracias, Airways Ed

According to Jeppesen charts....

Rwy 02/20 9843ft or 3000m
Rwy 08/26 3281ft or 1000m

Hope it helps!

Gracias!

If I might impose a follow-up question, what is the width of 08/26?

[luisde8cd]

I don't have that info... sorry. But it must be very narrow, it doesn't even have taxiways. That runway intercepts with 02/20 and that's the only way to get to 08/26. I don't think they use regularly...

Thanks again.

Someone sent me a picture and it looks like about 35m-wide. I didn't know there was a longer runway, thought it was essentially a little-used airport without any facilities.

The runway at Sombrerete Zacatecas has been closed for a while now, last I saw it had ditches dug across it by the Mexican Army, it was definately closed down after they captured a SudAviation Caravelle full of cocaine some time back. The only nearby runway is Unidad Minera but it has not been used for a while and I don´t know the condition.
