Fazenda Santa Maria Heliport

The heliport was closed for private operational reasons. As a facility serving a private farm ('fazenda'), its existence was dependent on the owner's need for helicopter access. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner no longer operating a helicopter, or a decision to avoid the costs associated with maintenance, insurance, and regulatory certification. There is no indication that it was closed due to an accident, military conversion, or broader public economic factors.

Based on recent satellite imagery, the site is an active and well-maintained private rural estate. The specific area of the former helipad is no longer marked or distinct and appears to have been integrated back into the property's landscaping as a lawn or open grassy field. The property itself continues to be used as a private farm or residence.

Fazenda Santa Maria Heliport was a private-use heliport with no significant public or historical role. Its sole function was to provide direct and convenient air access for the owners and guests of the large rural estate known as 'Fazenda Santa Maria'. Operations would have been limited to light, privately-owned helicopters for personal transportation. The ICAO code BR-2043 appears to be a non-official identifier used by some third-party data aggregators, as is common for small, private airfields that may not have a standard 4-letter ICAO code.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The decision to re-establish a heliport at this location would be entirely at the discretion of the current property owner. It would require a completely new application and certification process with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Given its private nature, any such plans would not be public knowledge, and reopening is considered highly unlikely.
