Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date of closure is not documented in public records. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery and the lack of official registration with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), the airstrip likely fell into disuse gradually and was officially closed or abandoned sometime in the early 2000s. It is definitively closed at present.

Reason for Closure

The airport was a private airstrip serving the Fazenda Santa Helena (Santa Helena Farm). The closure was most likely due to economic reasons, such as the sale of the farm, a change in the owner's transportation needs, or the high cost of maintaining a private aircraft and runway. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, regulatory action, or military conversion. The closure is typical for small, private-use farm strips that are no longer required by the landowner.

Current Status

As of the latest satellite imagery, the site of the former airstrip is no longer an active airfield. The faint outline of the unpaved grass/dirt runway is still visible, but it is overgrown with vegetation and crossed by farm tracks. The land has been reclaimed for agricultural purposes, likely serving as pasture. There are no remaining hangars, terminal buildings, or any aviation-related infrastructure on the site. It is completely unusable for aircraft.

Historical Significance

The airport, more accurately a private airstrip, held local significance for the agricultural operations of the Fazenda Santa Helena. Its primary function was to support the farm's activities, providing private air transport for the owner, family, and business associates, which is common for large, remote farms in Brazil. Operations would have been limited to small, single-engine general aviation aircraft. It was not a commercial or public airport and had no scheduled flights. The identifier 'BR-2035' is not an official ICAO code (which start with 'S' in Brazil) but rather a non-standard identifier used in some unofficial third-party aviation databases.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Fazenda Santa Helena Airport. As a privately owned strip, any reopening would be at the sole discretion and expense of the current landowner and would require a new registration and certification process with ANAC. Given its proximity to the operational Nova Andradina Municipal Airport (ICAO: SSNA), there is no public or commercial demand for its reactivation. The prospects for reopening are considered non-existent.
