Summerville Heliport

The closure was due to economic and operational reasons. The heliport was a private facility for the Summerville All Inclusive Resort. The demand for helicopter transport from guests likely did not justify the high costs of maintenance, insurance, and compliance with aviation regulations. The resort management opted to repurpose the valuable land for other guest amenities that would serve a wider range of visitors.

The site of the former heliport has been completely repurposed and is now integrated into the recreational grounds of the Summerville Resort. The area is currently a large, manicured lawn used as a multi-purpose sports field, including a small soccer pitch for guest use. There are no remaining signs of its past as an aviation facility, such as markings or a windsock.

Summerville Heliport (BR-2030) was a private heliport that exclusively served the Summerville All Inclusive Resort, a major luxury destination in the Porto de Galinhas area. Its primary function was to provide a premium, high-speed transfer service for VIPs, executives, and high-net-worth tourists, connecting them directly from Guararapes International Airport (SBRF) in Recife to the resort. This service allowed guests to bypass road traffic and added an element of exclusivity and luxury to the resort's offerings. It played a small but significant role in establishing the resort's reputation as a top-tier destination.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Summerville Heliport. The land has been successfully repurposed for guest recreation, which is likely seen as a more valuable use of the space by the resort's management. Reinstating the heliport would require significant investment and the removal of current amenities, making it highly improbable in the foreseeable future.
