Fazenda Cana Brava

The specific reason is not publicly recorded, which is typical for a small, private airstrip. The closure is almost certainly due to the cessation of the owner's operational need for the airfield. This is often linked to economic factors, a change in the farm's ownership or business model, or the high cost of maintenance and regulatory compliance. The visible deterioration of the runway confirms it was abandoned rather than closed for a specific incident.

As of the most recent satellite imagery, the site is abandoned as an airfield. The dirt/grass runway is still clearly visible but is heavily overgrown and unmaintained, with visible erosion and vegetation growth. There are tire tracks on parts of the runway, suggesting it may be used informally as a farm road, but it is in no condition to support any aviation activity. The surrounding land remains an active agricultural area.

Fazenda Cana Brava was a private, rural airstrip. Its name indicates it was built to serve the logistical needs of a specific farm or ranch ('Fazenda'). Its primary function would have been to support general aviation for the property's owners, facilitating private transport and potentially supporting agricultural activities like crop dusting. Operations were limited to small, light aircraft (single or twin-engine propeller planes). It held no public, commercial, or military significance and served a purely private, logistical role for the local agricultural enterprise.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the Fazenda Cana Brava airstrip. Re-establishing a certified airfield would require substantial private investment to completely rebuild the runway, meet modern safety standards, and undergo the complex and costly recertification process with ANAC. Given its remote location and private nature, the likelihood of reopening is virtually zero.
