Helipuerto Hotel Solaris

The closure was due to economic and operational factors tied to the hotel it served. The heliport was an exclusive amenity for the 'Hotel Solaris'. This hotel was later rebranded and is now the 'Hotel & Spa Hacienda de Zapata'. The new or evolving management likely deemed the heliport economically unviable due to high costs for maintenance, insurance, and staffing relative to a declining or insufficient demand from guests for private helicopter transport.

The physical concrete helipad still exists at the coordinates on the grounds of the current Hotel & Spa Hacienda de Zapata. However, it is no longer a functional or certified aviation facility. Current satellite imagery confirms the landing markings are almost completely faded. The area has been repurposed by the hotel and is now used as an overflow parking lot, a general-purpose open space, or a venue for outdoor events.

The heliport's significance was purely commercial and logistical. It provided a luxury service for the Hotel Solaris, a resort in a relatively remote area. Its primary operation was handling private charter helicopter flights, allowing high-net-worth individuals, VIPs, and hotel owners to travel directly to the resort from airports or heliports in major cities like Mexico City and Cuernavaca. This offered a significant advantage in terms of speed, privacy, and exclusivity, enhancing the hotel's premium image.

There are no known plans or public discussions about reopening Helipuerto Hotel Solaris. Reinstating the facility would require a substantial investment to resurface the pad, apply new markings, and meet current aviation safety and regulatory standards. Given that the space has been integrated into the hotel's ground operations, and the likely continued lack of a strong market for such a service, the prospects for its reopening are considered extremely low to non-existent.
