Fazenda Pratinha Airport.

The closure was due to economic reasons and logistical abandonment, which is common for private farm airstrips. It was not the result of a specific incident, military conversion, or regulatory action. Plausible reasons include: a change in the farm's ownership or management, a shift in operational strategy (such as outsourcing agricultural aviation services), or the consolidation of flights to the larger and better-equipped public Uruçuí Airport (ICAO: SBUL), which is located approximately 65 km to the northeast.

The site is currently an abandoned and unmaintained airstrip. Recent satellite imagery clearly shows the former dirt/gravel runway is completely overgrown with grass and shrubs, rendering it unusable for any aviation purposes. The land has effectively reverted to a natural state within the surrounding agricultural landscape.

The airport's significance was entirely private and logistical, serving the 'Fazenda Pratinha' (Pratinha Farm), a large agricultural enterprise in the heart of Brazil's MATOPIBA agribusiness frontier. It was never a public airport. Its primary operations included:
1. **Agricultural Aviation:** Serving as a base for crop-dusting and spraying aircraft to service the vast surrounding fields of soy, corn, and other crops.
2. **Private Transport:** Facilitating the movement of farm owners, managers, technicians, and high-value supplies to and from the remote farm, significantly reducing travel time over land.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Any potential reopening would be a private decision made by the current owners of Fazenda Pratinha. However, the likelihood is extremely low. The cost of clearing, restoring, and recertifying the airstrip, combined with the availability of the superior, paved-runway facilities at Uruçuí Airport (SBUL), makes reopening this small, private strip economically unviable for most purposes.
