Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

August 17, 2017. This is the date the aerodrome, officially registered with the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) under the ICAO code SJVK, was formally 'Excluded' (EXCLUÍDO) from the national registry.

Reason for Closure

The airport was closed for administrative and likely economic reasons. Its exclusion from the ANAC registry signifies it no longer meets regulatory requirements or that the owner voluntarily decommissioned it. For a private airstrip ('aeródromo privado') supporting a farm ('fazenda'), this closure is typically driven by the cessation of the business activity that required air support, a change in property ownership, or the inability/unwillingness to bear the cost of maintenance and regulatory compliance.

Current Status

The site is abandoned as an airfield. Satellite imagery confirms the presence of a dirt/grass runway, but it is unmaintained, visibly overgrown with vegetation, and clearly not in operational condition. The surrounding land continues to be used as a farm/ranch, but the airport infrastructure itself has been left to decay.

Historical Significance

Fazenda Cinco Estrelas Airport was a private airstrip whose primary function was to support the logistical needs of the large agricultural estate (the 'Fazenda Cinco Estrelas') it served. Located in a remote area of Apiacás in the state of Mato Grosso, a region known for agriculture and mining, the airport was crucial for transporting personnel, high-value supplies, and providing emergency access. It would have handled small, single-engine, and light twin-engine aircraft typical of general aviation. Its significance was purely local, providing a vital connection to urban centers for a specific private enterprise in an area with limited ground infrastructure. The identifier BR-2041 is a non-official, national designator; its official Brazilian ICAO code was SJVK.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. To become operational again, the owner would need to invest significantly in clearing and repairing the runway, ensuring the facilities meet current ANAC safety standards, and successfully completing the complex process of re-registering the aerodrome. Without a strong economic incentive from the fazenda's operations, a reopening is highly improbable.
