The heliport was officially and permanently closed on July 21, 2020. This is documented in Ordinance Nº 2.215/SIA issued by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), which formally excluded it from the national aerodrome registry.
The heliport was closed and de-registered at the request of its owner. While the official ordinance does not state a specific motive, the closure of a private corporate heliport is almost always due to economic or operational reasons. This typically means the company (Móveis Weihermann) no longer owned or operated a helicopter, or decided the cost of maintaining and certifying the facility was no longer justified.
The heliport is permanently closed to all air traffic. Satellite imagery confirms that the physical helipad marking ('H') still exists on the factory's roof, but it is no longer a legally registered or operational aviation facility. The site itself is an active industrial area, part of the Móveis Weihermann furniture manufacturing complex.
The heliport identified as 'Dolores Heliport (BR-1687)' in some third-party databases was officially known as 'Móveis Weihermann Helipad' with the official ICAO code SJDH. It was a private heliport located on the rooftop of the Móveis Weihermann furniture factory. Its sole purpose was to serve as a private landing facility for corporate executives, facilitating rapid transport to and from the industrial plant, which is common for large businesses in regions without immediate access to major airports. It held no public or major historical significance and was used exclusively for private business operations.
There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. For it to become operational again, the owner would need to undertake the full, complex process of re-registering and certifying the heliport with ANAC. This would likely only occur if the company re-establishes a need for private helicopter transport and decides to invest in the associated regulatory and maintenance costs.
