Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not officially documented, as is common for private airstrips. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport fell into disuse and was abandoned between approximately 2008 and 2012. By 2015, the runway was heavily overgrown and unusable, and by 2020, it had been completely reclaimed by farmland.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip serving the 'Fazenda Ipameri' (Ipameri Farm). The closure was not due to a specific incident like an accident or military conversion. It was almost certainly closed for private economic or operational reasons, such as a change in the farm's ownership, a shift in the farm's needs that made the airstrip obsolete, or the prohibitive cost of maintenance for a facility that was no longer required. This type of closure by abandonment is common for private farm airstrips in rural Brazil.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. Current satellite imagery of the coordinates (-21.63139, -50.808887) shows that the land has been completely repurposed for agriculture. The area where the dirt/grass runway was located is now indistinguishable from the surrounding pastures used for cattle grazing or other farming activities. There are no visible remnants of the runway, taxiways, or any associated airport infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Fazenda Ipameri Airport was a private-use aerodrome ('aeródromo privado') with no public or commercial significance. Its sole purpose was to serve the agricultural and personal transportation needs of the large farm on which it was built. Operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft for the personal travel of the farm's owners or managers, and potentially agricultural aircraft ('avião agrícola') for crop spraying. The ICAO code, BR-2002, was an unofficial identifier used in some third-party databases, not an official code assigned by Brazilian aviation authorities, which typically begin with 'S' (e.g., SDOC for the nearby municipal airport).

Reopening Prospects

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Ipameri Airport. The site has been fully reclaimed by the farm, and the nearby city is served by the municipal Osvaldo Cruz Airport (ICAO: SDOC), which accommodates the general aviation needs of the region. Reopening this private, defunct airstrip is considered highly improbable.
