Circa 2012-2015. An exact date is not documented as this was a private airstrip. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the runway was well-maintained and active in the early 2000s and 2010, but by 2016 it showed significant overgrowth and clear signs of abandonment.
Economic abandonment. The airstrip was a private facility, and its closure is consistent with the cessation of the specific business operation it was built to support, such as a remote cattle ranch (fazenda), logging camp, or agricultural project. This is a common fate for private airstrips in the Amazon region when the parent enterprise is sold, becomes unprofitable, or no longer requires air transport. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or environmental disaster.
The site is completely abandoned and has been reclaimed by nature. Satellite imagery clearly shows the former runway is heavily overgrown with dense vegetation and is entirely unusable for any type of aircraft. There are no remaining structures like hangars or terminals. The surrounding land appears to be a mix of cattle pasture and regenerating forest.
The airport held no national or regional historical significance. It was a private, unpaved (dirt/grass) airstrip whose sole purpose was utilitarian. It provided essential air access to a remote location in the Amazon, bypassing the often difficult or non-existent road network. Operations would have been limited to light, single-engine aircraft (e.g., Cessna 206/210, Piper PA-32) used for transporting personnel, medicine, food supplies, and light cargo to and from the property it served. The non-standard 'BR-' ICAO identifier confirms it was never part of Brazil's official public airport network managed by ANAC (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil).
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Cedrolândia Airport. As a private facility in a state of complete disrepair, its reactivation would require a significant private investment to clear the land, regrade the runway, and re-establish basic infrastructure. Such an investment would only be made if a new, large-scale commercial enterprise were to acquire the land and require private air access. It is not included in any government infrastructure or aviation development plans.
