Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

December 15, 2022

Reason for Closure

Administrative closure at the request of the owner. The official registration of the heliport was cancelled by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) through ordinance PORTARIA Nº 10.359/SIA. The document states the cancellation was 'a pedido do interessado' (at the request of the interested party), which was the administration of the Alphaville Eusébio residential complex. This suggests the decision was based on economic or operational factors, such as the costs of maintenance, insurance, and regulatory compliance outweighing its practical use for the residents.

Current Status

Although the heliport is officially and legally closed, recent satellite imagery shows the physical infrastructure, including the concrete landing pad with the 'H' marking, remains intact. The site is part of the private leisure and sports complex within the Alphaville Eusébio condominium, situated next to tennis courts and a lake. Since its registration with ANAC has been cancelled, it is no longer a legal landing zone for aircraft and is now simply a paved area that may be used by residents for recreational purposes or may sit unused.

Historical Significance

The heliport was officially registered as Alphaville Eusébio with the ICAO code SJNB. The name 'Lagoa Heliport' was a descriptive, unofficial name due to its location next to a large lake (lagoa), and 'BR-0887' was an unofficial identifier used in some non-governmental databases. Its purpose was to serve as a private amenity for the residents and guests of Alphaville Eusébio, an exclusive, high-end gated community. Operations consisted of private, non-commercial helicopter flights, allowing affluent individuals to bypass traffic and travel conveniently to and from the Fortaleza metropolitan area. While not historically significant on a national level, it was a symbol of luxury and a key feature for one of the most prestigious residential developments in the state of Ceará.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known official plans or public discussions regarding the reopening of the heliport. For it to become operational again, the owner (the Alphaville Eusébio condominium association) would need to reverse its previous decision and submit a new application for registration with ANAC, ensuring compliance with all current aviation regulations. The prospects for reopening are considered low unless the community's leadership determines that the benefits of the heliport once again justify the associated costs and liabilities.
