Maju Heliport

The heliport was a private facility located on a large residential estate. The closure was almost certainly due to a private decision by the property owner. Common reasons for such closures include the owner selling the property, ceasing to own or operate a helicopter, or no longer having a practical need for the facility. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to accidents, public economic reasons, or military conversion.

The site remains a part of a large, private residential property in Araçatuba. Recent satellite imagery shows that the physical helipad—a circular paved area with a faded 'H' marking—is still visible. However, it is no longer maintained for aviation purposes and appears to be used as part of the property's driveway or general open space. The site is not accessible to the public.

Maju Heliport's significance was entirely private. It served as a personal transportation hub for the owner of the residential estate on which it was built. Its operations would have consisted of private, non-commercial helicopter flights for business or leisure, allowing for rapid travel to and from the property, bypassing local traffic and connecting to regional airports like Araçatuba's Dario Guarita State Airport (SBAU/ARU). The heliport's existence points to the presence of high-net-worth individuals or business leaders in the region who utilized private aviation.

There are no known public plans or prospects for the reopening of Maju Heliport. As a private aerodrome, any initiative to reopen would have to come from the current property owner, who would need to seek re-certification from ANAC. Given its long period of inactivity and its integration into the residential grounds, a return to aviation operations is considered highly improbable.
