Fazenda Romário Airport

The closure was an administrative action by ANAC, likely initiated at the owner's request or due to non-compliance with updated regulatory standards. The primary reasons for the closure of such private airstrips are typically: 1) The owner no longer requires an airfield for their operations. 2) The cost and complexity of maintaining the airstrip and complying with modern aviation safety regulations became prohibitive for the owner. The closure was not related to a specific accident, military conversion, or public economic reasons.

The site of the former airport is currently agricultural land. Satellite imagery clearly shows the remnant of a single, unpaved grass/dirt runway in the middle of cultivated fields. The runway outline is still visible but appears unmaintained, overgrown in places, and is not in use for any aviation activity. There is no infrastructure such as hangars, terminals, or fencing. The land has effectively reverted to its primary purpose of farming.

Fazenda Romário Airport was a private rural airstrip ('aeródromo privado') whose significance was entirely local and logistical. The name 'Fazenda' (Farm/Ranch) indicates it was built to serve the agricultural needs of the Fazenda Romário. Its operations would have been limited to small, general aviation aircraft. The primary functions likely included:
- **Agricultural Aviation:** Supporting crop-dusting and spraying operations, which are crucial for the large-scale agriculture in the region.
- **Private Transport:** Providing a convenient landing spot for the farm's owners, managers, and visitors.
- **Logistical Support:** Transporting small, high-value parts, supplies, or personnel to and from the remote farm location.
It was a typical example of the thousands of private airstrips that form a critical, though largely unseen, part of the infrastructure supporting Brazil's vast agribusiness sector.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Romário Airport. As a privately owned airstrip on private land, any initiative to reopen would have to come from the current landowner. This would require a significant investment to restore the runway and meet all current ANAC safety and registration requirements. Given that it was deliberately de-registered, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
