Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Circa mid-2010s. An exact official closure date is not publicly available. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows the runway was well-maintained until the early 2010s but appears unmaintained and increasingly overgrown in images from 2015 onwards, indicating it fell out of active use during that period.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip for the 'Fazenda São Sebastião' (São Sebastião Farm). The closure was not due to a specific incident, military conversion, or major regulatory action. The most probable reason is a private decision by the farm's owner, likely due to economic factors, a change in ownership, cessation of aviation-related activities (like crop dusting or private transport), or the owner no longer operating an aircraft. Essentially, it was abandoned as it was no longer needed.

Current Status

The site is decommissioned and has reverted to agricultural use. Current satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the dirt/grass runway is still visible. However, it is overgrown with vegetation and is used as a farm track or access road for vehicles. The area is not maintained for aviation and is completely unsuitable for landing or takeoff.

Historical Significance

The airport's significance was entirely private and local. It served as a utility airstrip for the large agricultural estate it was named after. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, handling light aircraft for the personal transport of the farm's owners/managers and potentially supporting agricultural aviation (ag-av) for crop spraying. It never handled commercial, scheduled, or significant public air traffic.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen the airport. As a private airstrip on private land, any potential reopening would be solely at the discretion and expense of the current landowner and would require significant groundwork and re-certification with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Given its current state of disrepair, reopening is considered highly improbable.
