Operating hoursNo control tower; unattended/uncontrolled VFR-only airstrip. No published H24 operation and no formal published curfew, but in practice active only during daylight hours tied to the carrier's scheduled flight days (a few times per week). PPR strongly advisable for any operation outside scheduled service — coordinate directly with ESSA (the airport operator) or Aéreo Servicio Guerrero, as no independent ATC/FBO exists to confirm availability.
TerminalsSingle small terminal building with an adjoining apron; no jet bridges or multiple gates — a single-building, informal operation typical of remote company-run airstrips (exact terminal/apron dimensions unconfirmed).

Airport contact
A very minimal-infrastructure regional airstrip privately run by Exportadora de Sal (ESSA) to support its Guerrero Negro salt-export operations and the island's fishing communities (abalone, lobster), served only by small Cessna air-taxi flights of Aéreo Servicio Guerrero to Ensenada and Guerrero Negro a few times weekly. No confirmed public aviation fuel, no CIQ/international facilities despite occasional 'internacional'-sounding language in some listings, and no published passenger statistics — treat all operational details as informal/unconfirmed and verify directly with ESSA or ASG before flight planning.

Aéreo Servicio Guerrero (ASG)
ASG is a Hermosillo-based regional air-taxi carrier operating scheduled small Cessna-type flights connecting Isla de Cedros with Guerrero Negro and Ensenada. As the small-plane operator at this minimally-staffed company airstrip, it very likely self-handles its own passengers/baggage, but no independent confirmation of that arrangement was found.

Exportadora de Sal, S.A. de C.V. (ESSA)
ESSA, the salt-export company (Mexican government/Mitsubishi Corp joint venture) that built and holds the operating permit for this airstrip, is the de facto airport operator and PPR/coordination point for its own salt-logistics traffic. Press reporting (Zeta Tijuana, 2020) notes ESSA lacks resources to properly maintain the strip; no evidence of a separately staffed FBO, fuel sales, or third-party ground handling was found.
