The airport gradually fell into disuse during the early 2010s. Its definitive and permanent closure occurred around 2014-2015 when construction began on a new project at the site.
The primary reason for closure was land redevelopment for a more economically significant project. The site of the former airstrip was selected for the construction of the Nacaome-Valle Solar Power Plant (also known as SOPOSA). The airfield was likely underutilized or economically obsolete, making the land available for this large-scale renewable energy project.
The site is no longer an airport and is unrecognizable as such. The land is now fully occupied by the Nacaome-Valle Solar Power Plant, a major solar energy farm that supplies power to the national grid. The former runway has been completely removed and is now covered by thousands of solar panels and associated infrastructure.
Ciudad Nacaome Airport was a small, local airstrip (aerĂłdromo) with a single unpaved, dirt runway. It never served as a commercial airport with scheduled passenger flights. Its operations were primarily focused on:
- **General Aviation:** Supporting private pilots and small aircraft.
- **Agricultural Aviation:** Used for crop dusting and other agricultural support activities in the surrounding Valle department, a key agricultural region.
- **Air Taxi/Charter:** Potentially used for occasional light charter flights connecting Nacaome to other parts of Honduras.
Its significance was purely local, providing basic air access to the community before the land was repurposed.
There are zero prospects for reopening the airport at this location. The site has been permanently and irreversibly redeveloped into critical energy infrastructure. There are no known government or private sector plans to build a replacement airport for the city of Nacaome.
