Cementos Mexicanos Airport

The closure was due to corporate economic and logistical reasons. As a private airfield owned and operated by CEMEX, its existence was tied to the company's specific operational needs. The closure likely resulted from a combination of factors, including corporate cost-cutting initiatives (particularly following the 2008 financial crisis), a shift in executive travel policies, and the determination that using the nearby Ciudad Valles National Airport (IATA: CVM, ICAO: MMCV) was more cost-effective for their needs. The closure was not due to a major accident or military conversion.

The physical runway and tarmac infrastructure remain largely intact but are no longer used for aviation. The site has been fully repurposed as an integral part of the CEMEX cement plant's ground operations. The runway is permanently marked with large white 'X's and is now used as an open-air storage and staging area for industrial materials, equipment, and company vehicles. Satellite imagery shows trucks, large bags of material, and other industrial items covering the surface of the former runway.

The airport's significance was purely industrial and corporate. It was a private aerodrome ('aeródromo privado') built to serve the adjacent CEMEX Valles cement plant, one of the company's major production facilities. Its primary function was to facilitate rapid and direct transportation for company executives, key personnel, engineers, and high-value clients. It also likely handled urgent shipments of critical spare parts for the plant machinery. The airstrip allowed CEMEX to bypass commercial air travel, providing a significant logistical advantage and on-demand access to a key industrial asset. Operations would have typically involved small-to-midsize corporate jets and turboprop aircraft.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The land has been completely integrated into the logistical operations of the active cement plant, making a return to aviation use highly improbable. Furthermore, the proximity of the public Ciudad Valles National Airport (CVM), located approximately 20 kilometers away, serves the region's general and commercial aviation needs, negating any practical requirement for CEMEX to reinstate its private airfield.
