Fazenda Itaquere Airport

As a private airstrip, its closure was not publicly announced. The most probable reason is economic or operational change related to the farm it served. Common reasons for such closures in Brazil include: the high cost of aircraft and runway maintenance, a shift in agricultural strategy (e.g., using ground-based crop spraying or hiring third-party aerial services), new ownership of the farm with no need for an airstrip, or the inability to meet evolving regulatory requirements from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). There is no evidence of military conversion or a major accident leading to the closure.

The airport is permanently closed and non-operational. The physical location of the former runway is still identifiable on satellite maps, but it is completely overgrown with grass and vegetation. The land has reverted to agricultural use, integrated back into the pastures and fields of the Fazenda Itaquere. There are no remaining airport facilities or infrastructure in usable condition.

Fazenda Itaquere Airport was a private airstrip (aeródromo) with no major historical significance in terms of public or commercial aviation. Its sole purpose was to support the agricultural and logistical operations of the large farm (fazenda) on which it was located. Operations would have been limited to general aviation aircraft, likely including single-engine planes for crop dusting (a common use for such airstrips in Brazil) and for transporting the farm's owners, managers, and essential supplies. It did not serve any scheduled passenger or cargo routes.

There are no known or publicly discussed plans to reopen the Fazenda Itaquere Airport. Reopening a private airstrip requires significant private investment to clear and restore the runway, as well as a complex and costly certification process with ANAC. Given its private nature and the lack of any apparent demand, the prospect of it reopening is considered extremely low.
