Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is unknown as no official closure announcement is available. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the heliport was well-maintained until at least 2014. By 2016, signs of neglect began to appear, and by 2018, the site was clearly overgrown and non-operational. This suggests the heliport was likely closed and abandoned sometime between 2015 and 2017.

Reason for Closure

The specific reason for its closure is not publicly documented. Given that it was a small, private facility (as indicated by the national 'MX-' ICAO prefix), the most probable cause is economic. This could include the owner's company ceasing operations, the sale of the property, or the owner no longer having the need or financial resources to maintain and operate a helicopter. The gradual decay visible in satellite imagery supports a theory of abandonment due to financial or operational changes rather than a sudden event like an accident or government expropriation.

Current Status

As of the latest available satellite imagery (2023), the heliport is completely abandoned and in a state of disrepair. The concrete helipad, with its painted 'H' marking, is still visible but is significantly overgrown with grass and vegetation, rendering it unusable. The entire associated property, including the buildings and grounds, appears derelict and unmaintained.

Historical Significance

Sefuver Heliport holds no known major historical significance. It was a private heliport serving an adjacent property that contains several buildings and what appears to be a disused running track or sports field, suggesting it may have been a corporate retreat, a private estate, or a training facility. Its operations would have been limited to private, non-commercial flights, likely transporting personnel, executives, or the property owner to and from the site. The name 'Sefuver' is not associated with any major known corporation or government entity in the region, reinforcing its status as a minor, private facility.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen or redevelop the Sefuver Heliport. Given its advanced state of decay and the apparent abandonment of the entire property, any prospect of reopening is extremely low. It would require a complete restoration of the helipad and facilities by a new owner who has a specific need for private helicopter access at this location.
