Aeródromo Rancho El Salto

While no official reason is on record, the closure is almost certainly linked to its private nature. The name 'Aeródromo Rancho El Salto' indicates it was an airstrip serving a private ranch. Such airfields are typically closed for reasons such as: the sale of the property to new owners who do not require an airstrip, the original owner ceasing aviation activities, or economic reasons making the maintenance of the runway and any associated aircraft unfeasible.

The site is currently an abandoned and non-operational airstrip within the confines of the private ranch property. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (29.093251, -100.7641) shows a clearly defined but deteriorated unpaved runway. The surface is eroded, uneven, and overgrown with vegetation, making it completely unusable for aircraft. There are no remaining airport facilities such as hangars, fuel pumps, or terminal buildings. The land has effectively reverted to agricultural use.

The airport's significance was entirely private and local. It served as a utility airstrip for Rancho El Salto, providing direct air access to a relatively remote rural property. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, consisting of light, single or twin-engine propeller aircraft used for personal transportation of the ranch owners, guests, or for farm-related business. It never handled commercial, scheduled, or military air traffic and held no strategic or public importance.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Aeródromo Rancho El Salto. As a private facility, any initiative to reopen would have to come from the current landowner and would require significant private investment to restore the runway to a safe and usable condition. Given the lack of any apparent economic or logistical driver, and its proximity to other regional airports, a reopening is considered highly improbable.
