Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is not publicly documented, which is common for small, private airfields. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery and aviation database records, the airport likely fell into disuse and ceased operations sometime between 2010 and 2018. It is now officially listed as 'closed' in aviation databases.

Reason for Closure

The closure was not due to a singular event like an accident or military conversion. As a private airstrip, its closure was almost certainly due to economic reasons and a lack of use. The owner of the 'Fazenda Três Marias' (Three Marys Ranch), for which the airport was named, likely no longer operated aircraft or found the cost of maintaining the runway unjustified. The subsequent conversion of the land back to agriculture confirms it was permanently decommissioned.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists in a functional state. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that the land has been fully reclaimed for agriculture. The former dirt runway has been plowed over and is now part of a cultivated field, with rows of crops running directly across its previous path. While a very faint outline of the strip is still visible from the air, the site is physically and functionally an active farm field.

Historical Significance

The airport held no national or regional historical significance. Its purpose was entirely private and utilitarian, serving as a logistical tool for the large farm it was on. Operations would have been limited to general aviation aircraft, used for transporting the farm's owners, managers, and supplies, and potentially for agricultural aviation (e.g., crop dusting) to service the surrounding fields. The non-standard ICAO code 'BR-2034' indicates it was a small, private strip not part of the primary national aviation infrastructure.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Três Marias Airport. Given that the site has been fully converted back into productive agricultural land, reopening it is highly improbable. It would require the landowner to sacrifice valuable cropland and invest significant capital to clear, level, and re-establish the runway and any supporting facilities.
