Fazenda São Lucas Airport

The airport was a private airstrip ('aeródromo privado') linked to the 'Fazenda São Lucas' (São Lucas Farm). The closure was not due to a single documented event but was likely a result of economic factors or a change in operational needs. Common reasons for the closure of such private farm airstrips in Brazil include the sale of the property, the owner no longer operating aircraft, or the high cost of maintenance becoming unjustifiable. The non-standard ICAO code 'BR-2010' and its absence from current official ANAC (Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency) registries confirm its private, now-defunct status.

The site is completely abandoned as an airfield. Recent satellite imagery confirms the presence of the former runway's outline, but it is entirely overgrown with grass and vegetation, making it indistinguishable from the surrounding pasture land. There are no visible aviation facilities like hangars or markings remaining. The land has effectively reverted to agricultural use and is unusable for aircraft.

The airport's significance was entirely local and private. It served as a utility airstrip for the Fazenda São Lucas, a large farm typical of the region. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, handling light aircraft used for the farm's business. This likely included transporting the owner, personnel, and high-value supplies, as well as potentially supporting agricultural aviation activities like crop surveying or spraying. It never handled commercial, scheduled, or public flights.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Fazenda São Lucas Airport. As a privately owned strip that has been derelict for several years, any reopening would require a significant private investment from the current landowner to clear the land, resurface the runway, and get it re-certified by ANAC. Given the existence of other operational private airstrips in the Gália region, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
