Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Not applicable. There is no verifiable record of this airport ever being operational. It is believed to be a 'phantom' entry in aviation databases, meaning it never existed as a recognized airport.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable. The airport did not close because it appears to have never been built or officially commissioned. The listing is likely the result of a data aggregation or clerical error.

Current Status

The coordinates 27.980801, -97.786903 point directly to a large industrial site, specifically a natural gas processing plant. Satellite imagery confirms the presence of industrial infrastructure, including processing units, storage tanks, and pipelines, with no visible evidence of past or present airport facilities such as runways, taxiways, or hangars.

Historical Significance

There is no known historical significance, as the airport most likely never existed. The identifier 'US-10517' is not a valid ICAO code, which are assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (real ICAO codes for the continental US begin with 'K'). The 'International' designation is highly improbable for this rural location, which would have lacked the necessary customs and immigration infrastructure. The region is historically served by Corpus Christi International Airport (KCRP).

Reopening Prospects

None. As there is no evidence the airport ever existed, there are no plans or prospects for it to 'reopen'. The land is currently occupied and utilized by a major industrial facility.
