Isla La Herradura Airport

No official reason for the closure is publicly available. Given its status as a small, private airstrip in a recreational area, the closure was almost certainly due to economic factors. This could include the high cost of maintenance relative to its use, a change in ownership of the land, or a decline in the specific private/tourist activity it was built to support. It appears to have been gradually abandoned rather than formally closed due to a specific event.

The airport is abandoned and non-functional. The asphalt runway is still clearly visible but is in a state of severe disrepair, with extensive cracking, vegetation growth, and surface deterioration, rendering it completely unusable for aviation. The site and the runway itself are now used informally by locals and tourists for recreational activities and as an access road for vehicles within the peninsula on the reservoir.

Isla La Herradura Airport was a small, private airfield. Its ICAO code, MX-2381, is an unofficial identifier used in some databases, not a standard international code. Its primary significance was local, providing private air access for general aviation aircraft to the Presa La Boquilla reservoir, a major dam and popular area for tourism, fishing, and boating. Operations would have consisted of small, single or twin-engine propeller aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper) used by landowners, affluent tourists, or sport fishermen. There is no evidence it ever supported commercial scheduled flights or had any military significance.

There are no known or published plans to repair, renovate, or reopen the Isla La Herradura Airport. The substantial cost required to resurface the runway and restore any potential infrastructure makes reopening highly improbable without a significant new economic driver, such as a major resort or commercial development, in the immediate area. It is expected to remain in its current abandoned state.
