La Llorona Airport

The closure was primarily due to a combination of factors: 1) **Redundancy:** The city of Reynosa is served by the much larger and fully-equipped General Lucio Blanco International Airport (IATA: REX, ICAO: MMRX), making a small private strip largely unnecessary for most aviation needs. 2) **Economic Factors:** As a private field, its operational costs may have become unsustainable for its owners or users. 3) **Urban & Industrial Encroachment:** The land became more valuable for industrial development, which has since taken over parts of the former airport grounds.

The airport is permanently closed and abandoned. The runway is still visible on satellite maps but is in a severe state of disrepair, cracked, and overgrown with vegetation, rendering it completely unusable. The site is being actively redeveloped. Large industrial warehouses and facilities, part of a growing industrial park, have been built over the former apron area and the eastern end of the runway.

La Llorona Airport was a small, private airstrip and never served as the primary airport for Reynosa. Its informal name likely derives from the local area or a nearby ranch, possibly 'Rancho La Llorona'. The ICAO code 'MX-1942' is an unofficial identifier used by third-party databases, not an official code assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The airport's operations were limited to general aviation, likely serving private business travel, recreational flying, and potentially agricultural aviation (crop dusting) for local ranches. It would have handled small, single or twin-engine propeller aircraft.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening La Llorona Airport. The redevelopment of the land for industrial use is permanent and irreversible. Furthermore, there is no logistical or economic need for this airstrip to be reactivated, as all regional aviation traffic is handled by the nearby General Lucio Blanco International Airport.
