Fazenda Spartacus Airport

The closure was administrative and initiated by the property owner. The official ANAC ordinance states the removal from the registry was 'a pedido do proprietário' (at the owner's request). This indicates the decision was not due to an accident, safety violations, or economic failure of a public entity, but rather a private decision by the landowner to cease aviation operations on the property.

The site is no longer an airport. Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the faint outline of the former grass runway. The land has been fully returned to agricultural use, is overgrown, and appears to be part of the surrounding fields. There are no visible signs of remaining aviation infrastructure like hangars or markings. The land is actively being farmed.

Fazenda Spartacus Airport, officially registered with ANAC under the ICAO designator SJXE (the 'BR-2046' identifier is a non-standard, likely third-party database code), was a private aerodrome ('aeródromo privado'). Its sole purpose was to serve the agricultural and logistical needs of the 'Fazenda Spartacus' (Spartacus Farm), after which it was named. Operations were limited to general aviation and agricultural aviation. This typically included small aircraft for the private transport of the farm's owners/managers and specialized aircraft for crop dusting and spraying over the farm's extensive plantations. It featured a single grass runway (800m x 25m) and had no facilities for commercial passenger or cargo traffic. Its significance was purely local and tied to the agribusiness operations of the farm it served.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Since the closure was requested by the owner and the land has been repurposed for agriculture, reopening is highly improbable. Any effort to re-establish an aerodrome on the site would require a completely new and rigorous application and certification process with ANAC, which the current landowner has shown no interest in pursuing.
