Haras Bandeirantes Airstrip

The closure was administrative, resulting from its cancellation and removal from the official ANAC registry. This is a common occurrence for private aerodromes and typically happens for reasons such as a request by the owner, sale of the property, or failure to comply with updated regulatory, safety, and maintenance standards required by the aviation authority. There is no evidence of closure due to a specific accident or military conversion.

The site is defunct as an airfield. Satellite imagery confirms that the physical runway is still visible as a strip of land but is completely overgrown with vegetation and is no longer maintained or usable by aircraft. The land has effectively been reclaimed for agricultural or pasture use, consistent with the surrounding farm property. The associated buildings of the Haras Bandeirantes estate remain.

The airstrip held no major national or commercial significance. It was a private aerodrome (also known by the designator SJSB in some unofficial databases) built exclusively to serve the 'Haras Bandeirantes', a large rural estate and stud farm ('haras' in Portuguese). Its operations were limited to private general aviation, supporting the transport needs of the property's owners, guests, and related business activities. The 900-meter unpaved runway would have accommodated small, single or twin-engine propeller aircraft.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the airstrip. Re-establishing it as a functional, registered aerodrome would require a significant financial investment from the property owner to clear and restore the runway surface, as well as navigate the complex and costly process of re-registration and certification with ANAC. Given its private nature and the expenses involved, reopening is considered highly unlikely.
