SSDU Centenario GR Helideck

The closure was not due to typical airport-related reasons. The SSDU Centenario GR Helideck was an integral part of an offshore oil and gas platform. The helideck ceased to exist when its parent structure, the Centenario GR platform operated by PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos), was decommissioned and physically removed from the Gulf of Mexico at the end of its operational lifespan. This is a standard procedure for aging offshore infrastructure.

The site is now open sea. The physical helideck and the entire Centenario GR platform it was attached to have been completely removed from the coordinates. The ICAO identifier MX-1035 is officially decommissioned and is no longer assigned to any active facility. Navigational charts and aviation databases mark this location as closed or deleted.

The SSDU Centenario GR Helideck was a private, special-use aviation facility with no access for the general public. Its sole purpose was to serve the Centenario GR offshore platform. Its historical significance is purely industrial and logistical:

- **Primary Operation:** It handled helicopter flights for crew changes, transporting engineers, technicians, and other personnel between the mainland (likely from bases like Ciudad del Carmen or Veracruz) and the remote platform.
- **Logistical Support:** It was used for the delivery of urgent, lightweight cargo, mail, and essential supplies.
- **Emergency Services:** The helideck was a critical point for medical evacuations (medevac), allowing for the rapid transport of injured or ill workers to onshore medical facilities.

In essence, it was a vital lifeline that enabled the continuous and safe operation of a key piece of Mexico's national energy infrastructure in the Bay of Campeche.

None. The prospect of reopening is zero because the physical infrastructure has been permanently dismantled and removed. A new helideck could only exist at this location if a new offshore platform were to be constructed and installed, which would be an entirely new project and would be assigned a new ICAO identifier. There are no known plans for such a project at these specific coordinates.
