Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is unknown as the airport was a private, unregistered airstrip. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport was clearly operational in 2010 but shows significant overgrowth and signs of disuse by 2014. It was likely abandoned and ceased operations sometime between 2011 and 2014.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip serving the 'Fazenda Fartura' (Fartura Farm). The closure was almost certainly for economic reasons and a change in the farm's operational needs. Such small, private airstrips are often closed when the owner sells the aircraft, sells the property, or finds the cost of maintenance prohibitive for its limited use. The land has since been converted back to agricultural use, which supports this conclusion.

Current Status

The site of the former airport has been fully reclaimed for agriculture. Recent satellite imagery shows the area of the former runway is now plowed and cultivated with crops, seamlessly integrated with the surrounding fields. The faint outline of the strip is barely visible, and no aviation infrastructure, such as hangars, markings, or a windsock, remains.

Historical Significance

The airport's significance was entirely private and local. As a 'fazenda' airstrip, its sole purpose was to support the agricultural and logistical operations of the farm it was built on. Operations would have included private passenger transport for the farm's owners and managers, and potentially agricultural aviation (e.g., crop dusting). The ICAO code 'BR-2004' is a non-standard identifier, likely from a non-governmental aviation database, indicating it was never an officially registered public or private aerodrome with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Its runway was an unpaved grass/dirt strip approximately 800 meters (2,625 feet) long.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Re-establishing the airstrip would require significant investment to clear the agricultural land and reconstruct the runway. Given that the land is now used for productive farming, a reopening is highly improbable unless a future owner of the property has a specific and significant need for a private aviation facility.
