Fazenda Americana Airport

As a private airfield, the specific reason for its closure was not made public. The most probable cause is economic. The operational costs of maintaining a private runway (maintenance, security, potential certification) likely outweighed its benefits for the farm's owner. Other possibilities include a change in ownership of the 'Fazenda Americana' (American Farm) it served, or a shift in the farm's logistical needs away from air transport.

The site is currently defunct and non-operational. Satellite imagery shows the dirt/gravel runway is still clearly visible but is unmaintained and being reclaimed by nature. There is significant vegetation growth on the runway surface, making it unusable for any aircraft. The land has reverted to being part of the surrounding agricultural property of the fazenda.

The airport was a private airstrip with purely local significance, built to support the agribusiness operations of the Fazenda Americana. Its primary function was to facilitate general aviation for the farm. Operations would have included private transport for owners and staff, agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting and spraying), and the rapid transport of parts, supplies, and personnel to a remote rural area. It handled small, single or twin-engine propeller aircraft and was never open for public or commercial airline use. The identifier BR-0346 is a non-official code used in some databases for unregistered or private airfields in Brazil, not a formal ICAO code.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Americana Airport. Any such initiative would have to come from the private owner of the land and would require significant investment to clear the runway, restore its surface, and potentially seek certification from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Given the existence of a public airport in the municipality (Barra do Corda Airport, ICAO: SNBC), the reopening of this small, private strip is highly unlikely.
