Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Circa early 2000s. The airport was last depicted on the 1998 World Aeronautical Chart but was no longer shown on the 2003 San Antonio Sectional Chart, indicating it was officially closed to aviation traffic within that timeframe.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private-use airfield. While the exact reason is not publicly documented, the closure is consistent with common reasons for small private strips, such as the owner ceasing aviation activities due to age, cost, or liability, followed by the sale or repurposing of the land for more profitable development. There is no evidence of military conversion or closure due to a specific accident.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and the site has been redeveloped. Current satellite imagery shows that while the faint outline of the northern portion of the grass runway is still visible, the southern half of the property is now occupied by several large commercial or light industrial buildings, along with extensive paved areas for parking and storage. The land is no longer used for any aviation-related purpose.

Historical Significance

CTS Stacy Airport was a private airfield owned and operated by a local rancher and businessman, C.T.S. 'Stacy' Smith, Jr. Its primary function was to support his personal and business-related general aviation activities. The airport featured a single unpaved turf runway, approximately 3,000 feet long and designated 17/35. It was capable of handling a variety of light single-engine and twin-engine propeller aircraft. The airport held no major historical significance beyond serving as a private aviation facility for its owner and was never open for public use or commercial operations.

Reopening Prospects

None. The construction of large, permanent structures directly on the former runway's footprint and the general redevelopment of the property make any prospect of reopening as an airport infeasible.
