Country Club Orgabil Airport

The airport was a private airstrip, and its closure was not due to a single publicized event but likely a combination of factors. The most probable reasons include: 1) Economic Viability: The high cost of maintenance, security, and regulatory compliance for a private facility may have outweighed its utility for the owners. 2) Change in Owner's Needs: The owners, the Orgabil group, may no longer have required a private airstrip for their business or personal travel. 3) Land Value: Located on the expanding eastern edge of Araçatuba, the land became increasingly valuable for real estate development or more profitable agricultural use.

The site is currently a private property. The physical runway is still clearly visible from satellite view but is in a state of disrepair. It is overgrown with grass and vegetation, with a dirt track now cutting across its surface, rendering it unusable for any aviation activity. The land has been fully integrated into the surrounding private estate or farm (fazenda) and is used for agricultural or private estate purposes.

The airport, officially known as Aeródromo Orgabil, was a private facility. The identifier 'BR-1990' is a non-official code used by some third-party aviation databases; it was not an official ICAO code. Its significance was primarily local and private, serving the interests of the Orgabil group, a local company involved in real estate (Orgabil Imóveis) and agribusiness (Orgabil Agropecuária). The airstrip handled general aviation traffic, including light single and twin-engine propeller aircraft, used for business travel, recreational flying, and agricultural support. It was a characteristic example of the many private 'pistas de fazenda' (farm airstrips) common in Brazil's interior, providing direct and convenient air access to private estates and business operations.

There are no known official plans, proposals, or prospects for reopening the Country Club Orgabil Airport. Given that it was a private facility closed for likely economic and strategic reasons, and with the city of Araçatuba being adequately served by the Dario Guarita State Airport (ICAO: SBAU, IATA: ARU), a reopening is highly improbable. The land is more likely to be repurposed for real estate or agriculture in the future.
