Divisa Airport

The official reason was its administrative removal from the national airfield registry by ANAC. This type of closure typically stems from a combination of factors including economic non-viability, lack of sustained demand, and the inability of the private owner to meet the operational, safety, and maintenance standards required by aviation authorities. There was no single major event like an accident or military conversion that led to its closure.

The airport is completely abandoned. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows a clearly defined but severely deteriorated runway that is overgrown with vegetation and unusable for aircraft. There are no significant buildings remaining on the site. The land is unused or may be informally used by locals for non-aviation purposes such as driving practice or as open pasture land.

Divisa Airport was a small, private airfield that primarily served general aviation. Its name, 'Divisa' (Portuguese for 'border'), reflects its location on the state line between Bahia (BA) and Minas Gerais (MG). The airport's main purpose was to provide air access for local agricultural businesses (fazendas), business owners, and potential air taxi services in the remote region around the towns of Encruzilhada (BA) and Divisa Alegre (MG). It featured a single unpaved/gravel runway (approximately 1200 meters) and never handled scheduled commercial airline traffic.

There are no known official plans, government initiatives, or private sector proposals to reopen Divisa Airport. Given its permanent delisting by ANAC, reopening would require a completely new and expensive certification process. The economic factors that led to its initial closure likely remain, and the region's air transportation needs are adequately met by the larger and more modern Glauber Rocha Airport (VDC/SBQV) in the nearby city of Vitória da Conquista. Therefore, the prospect of reopening is considered highly unlikely.
