The exact date is unknown, as this was a private airstrip without extensive public records. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates the airport was active and maintained until the early-to-mid 2010s. By the late 2010s (circa 2018-2019), the runway shows clear signs of disuse and lack of maintenance, suggesting it was closed gradually during this period.
The specific reason is not officially documented. However, given that it was a private airstrip serving a farm ('fazenda'), the closure was most likely due to economic factors or a change in the owner's priorities. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the farm to a new owner with no use for an airstrip, the owner ceasing aviation activities (e.g., selling their aircraft), or the operational costs becoming prohibitive. The gradual decay visible in satellite imagery suggests abandonment rather than a sudden closure due to an accident or regulatory action.
The site is an abandoned airstrip. Satellite imagery from recent years shows a clearly defined but overgrown and unmaintained dirt/grass runway. The land has not been fully repurposed or plowed over for agriculture, but the runway is in a state of disrepair and is unusable for aircraft operations. It exists as a remnant feature on the farm's property.
The airport's significance was strictly private and local. It served the 'Fazenda Boa Sorte' (Good Luck Farm) and was not open for public use. Its operations would have consisted of general aviation activities, handling small, single-engine aircraft. These operations were likely for the personal transportation of the farm's owners and staff, business travel, and potentially agricultural aviation purposes such as crop dusting or land surveying. It played no role in regional commercial or military aviation.
There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the airport. As a private facility on private land, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on the current landowner's initiative and investment. This would require significant work to clear and restore the runway surface, as well as obtaining the necessary certifications and registrations from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). The prospect of this happening is considered very low.
