El Toreo (Las Parras) Airport

The specific reason is not publicly documented. However, given its nature as a private airstrip likely serving a ranch or agricultural business, the closure was almost certainly due to private economic or operational reasons. Plausible causes include the owner no longer needing or being able to afford an aircraft, the sale of the property, or a general cessation of the business activities that required air access. There is no evidence to suggest closure due to a major accident, military conversion, or urban encroachment.

The airport is abandoned and in a derelict state. Current satellite imagery clearly shows the outline of the dirt runway, but it is heavily overgrown with shrubs and grass, rendering it completely unusable for any aviation purposes. The site has not been repurposed for other uses; it has simply been left to revert to nature. The associated buildings appear to be part of the surrounding ranch property, which remains active.

The airport held local, rather than national, significance. Its names, 'El Toreo' (The Bullfight) and 'Las Parras' (The Vines), strongly suggest it served a private agricultural estate, ranch (hacienda), or vineyard. Its primary function would have been to support general aviation operations for the property's owners, allowing for the transport of personnel, guests, and supplies to a relatively remote rural area. The unpaved runway, approximately 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) in length, was suitable for light single or twin-engine propeller aircraft, typical for private and agricultural aviation.

There are no known or publicly announced plans to reopen El Toreo (Las Parras) Airport. As a private facility, any prospect of reopening would depend entirely on the landowner's initiative and financial investment. Given the significant cost required to clear, regrade, and certify the airstrip after years of neglect, and the likely cessation of the original need for it, reopening is considered highly improbable.
