Hospital San Jose Tec de Monterrey Helipad

The reason for its 'closed' listing in some databases is not due to an accident, economic factors, or military conversion. It is most likely a result of its status as a private-use facility. The hospital may have de-registered it from public-facing databases, or the identifier MX-1042 (a non-standard ICAO format for Mexico) may have been retired, even while the helipad continues to operate for its intended private and emergency purposes.

Contrary to the 'closed' database entries, the site is an active and well-maintained hospital helipad located on the roof of the main hospital building. Recent satellite imagery confirms its excellent condition, and numerous local news reports from 2022 and 2023 document its ongoing use for receiving patients via air ambulance. It is a vital piece of emergency medical infrastructure for the city of Monterrey and the surrounding region.

The helipad's sole purpose, both historically and currently, is to serve as a critical point of access for the Hospital San José, a leading medical institution within the TecSalud system. It has always handled helicopter air ambulance (medevac) operations, enabling the rapid transport of critically ill or injured patients from accident scenes or other medical facilities directly to the hospital's advanced care units.

As the helipad is currently operational and actively in use, there are no 'reopening' plans or prospects because it never physically closed. It continues to fulfill its critical function for the hospital.
