La Gloria Airstrip

The specific reason for closure is not officially recorded, as it was a private facility. Given its characteristics and location, the closure was almost certainly due to private economic or logistical reasons. Common reasons for the closure of such private airstrips include the sale of the property it serves (likely a large ranch or hacienda), the owner no longer having a need for air access, prohibitive maintenance costs, or the owner's death. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a major accident or for military conversion.

The airstrip is permanently closed and abandoned. Satellite imagery confirms its status with large, faded 'X's painted on the runway. The asphalt runway and a small apron area are still visible but are in a state of disrepair, showing cracks and vegetation growth. The land has reverted to being part of the surrounding private ranch property and is not used for any aviation-related activities.

La Gloria Airstrip was a private airfield with no significant public or commercial history. Its primary purpose was to serve a large, private landholding, likely the 'La Gloria' ranch, in the rural municipality of Anáhuac, Nuevo León. Operations would have consisted exclusively of general aviation aircraft (light single- and twin-engine planes). These flights would have been used for transporting the property owners, guests, staff, and supplies, and potentially for agricultural purposes such as aerial surveying or crop dusting. It provided crucial air access to a remote area far from major public airports.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening La Gloria Airstrip. As a private asset on private land, any decision to reopen would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner. The significant cost required to resurface the runway, clear vegetation, and ensure it meets modern safety standards makes a reopening highly improbable unless a new owner has a specific and compelling need for a private airfield.
