Zancarrón Airstrip

No official reason for the closure has been publicly recorded. As a small, private dirt airstrip in a remote rural area, the most probable cause of closure is economic or logistical. Common reasons for such airstrips to fall into disuse include: a change in land ownership, the cessation of the business that required it (e.g., a large ranch or agricultural enterprise), or the owner no longer having the need or financial means to maintain it for aviation. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to a major accident or military conversion.

The site is currently abandoned and non-operational for aviation. High-resolution satellite imagery shows a clearly defined but severely degraded and unmaintained dirt runway. The surface is overgrown in places and shows tracks from ground vehicles, indicating it is likely used as a simple access road for local farm or ranch activities. There is no visible airport infrastructure, such as hangars, lighting, or support buildings, remaining at the site.

Zancarrón Airstrip held local, rather than national, significance. It was a private-use airfield, likely built to serve a specific large ranch (hacienda) or agricultural operation in the Santo Domingo municipality. When active, it would have handled light general aviation aircraft. Its operations were crucial for providing rapid transportation for the property's owners, guests, or for business purposes such as agricultural spraying (crop dusting) and transporting supplies to a remote location.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening Zancarrón Airstrip. Given its remote location, the complete lack of infrastructure, and its original private purpose, any potential for reopening would be entirely dependent on a new private owner having a specific need for an airfield and the willingness to make a substantial investment to clear, regrade, and certify the runway. As such, reopening is considered highly unlikely.
