Rancho Villela Airport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly recorded. As a private airfield serving the Fazenda Rancho Villela (Villela Ranch), it was most likely closed because the owner ceased aviation operations, sold the property, or found the maintenance costs were no longer justified for a private facility. There is no evidence suggesting closure due to a major accident, environmental issues, or military conversion.

The airport is permanently closed and abandoned. The site of the former dirt/grass runway is completely overgrown and has been reclaimed by vegetation, making it indistinguishable from the surrounding agricultural fields. The land has reverted to its use as part of the Fazenda Rancho Villela.

Rancho Villela Airport was a private airstrip ('aeródromo privado') with no recorded public or commercial significance. Its primary function was to support the logistical and transportation needs of the Fazenda Rancho Villela. Operations would have been limited to private, general aviation aircraft, such as single-engine planes used for personal travel or agricultural activities related to the ranch.

There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening Rancho Villela Airport. Given its private status, advanced state of deterioration, and the significant investment required for restoration and recertification, any future reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
