Godornices Airport

The closure was due to abandonment for economic reasons. Godornices Airport was a private airstrip, not a public facility. Such airstrips are often closed when the owner no longer has a need for it, can no longer afford the upkeep, or sells the property. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific incident, accident, or military conversion.

The site is completely abandoned and in a state of decay. Satellite imagery clearly shows the remnant of a single asphalt runway. The surface is severely cracked, weathered, and has vegetation growing through it. There are no visible buildings, hangars, or any signs of current use. The land has effectively reverted to being an unused part of the surrounding rural ranch landscape.

Godornices Airport was a private airstrip exclusively serving the 'Rancho Godornices,' a large private ranch (rancho cinegético) known for hunting activities in the Múzquiz region. Its sole purpose was to provide convenient, direct air access for the ranch owners and their wealthy guests, allowing them to bypass commercial airports. Operations were limited to general aviation, consisting of small, private propeller-driven aircraft. The airport's significance was tied entirely to the logistics and prestige of the ranch it served and it had no role in public or commercial transport.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the airport. Given its remote location, private historical purpose, and the significant cost required to completely rebuild the runway and any potential facilities, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely. It is for all practical purposes permanently closed.
