Planura

The airport was a small, local airstrip that was likely closed and abandoned due to a combination of economic factors, lack of demand, and the high cost of maintenance and regulatory compliance. The ICAO code 'BR-0008' is an unofficial identifier, not recognized by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), suggesting it may have been a private or unregistered field that simply ceased operations without formal decommissioning.

The site is abandoned and non-operational. High-resolution satellite imagery clearly shows the outline of a single dirt runway that is heavily overgrown with grass and vegetation. There are no visible buildings, hangars, or airport infrastructure remaining. The land appears to be unused, with some vehicle tracks crossing the former runway, and is slowly reverting to natural pastureland.

Locally known as the old 'Campo de Aviação de Planura', this was a simple, unpaved airstrip that served the municipality of Planura in Minas Gerais. Its operations were primarily for general aviation, supporting local agricultural activities (such as crop dusting), private transport for farm owners, and potentially air taxi services. It provided a vital transportation link for a rural community before the significant improvement of local road networks. It did not handle commercial airline operations.

There are no known official plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. Given its advanced state of decay, lack of infrastructure, and the existence of another active private aerodrome (Fazenda Marimbondo, ICAO: SJXQ) in the same municipality, it is highly improbable that this site will be restored for aviation use.
