Voluntary closure by the owner. The heliport's registration was officially cancelled by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) as per Portaria Nº 2.802/SIA. The document states the cancellation was processed 'a pedido do interessado,' which translates to 'at the request of the interested party.' This indicates the closure was a private business decision by the operator and not the result of an accident, regulatory action, or economic failure.
The site is located within the industrial complex of the Usina Santa Rita. Recent satellite imagery shows that the physical concrete helipad, marked with a triangle and a faded 'H' (the standard for a private heliport in Brazil), still exists in an open, grassy area next to the plant's administrative buildings. The site has not been built over or repurposed; it is simply an unused piece of infrastructure.
The ThomasiCamargo Heliport was a private facility registered to and located on the grounds of 'Usina Santa Rita S/A Açúcar e Álcool,' a major sugar and ethanol mill. Its sole purpose was to serve the logistical needs of this large agro-industrial company. The heliport facilitated rapid transportation for executives, key personnel, and visitors directly to the plant, which is a common practice for large, remote industrial operations in Brazil. Its significance was entirely private and operational, supporting the business activities of the sugar mill.
There are no known public plans or official prospects for reopening the heliport. Since the closure was a voluntary act by the owner, any potential reopening would be contingent on a future change in the company's operational requirements or transportation strategy. It is considered highly unlikely to reopen unless the owner's business needs change.
