Forum Trabalhista de 1ª Instância de São Paulo II Helipad

The closure was requested by the operator of the helipad ('a pedido do interessado'), which is the Labor Court itself. This indicates the closure was a voluntary administrative or economic decision by the court, not a result of an accident, military conversion, or a forced shutdown by aviation authorities. The specific internal motivations, such as high maintenance costs, low utilization, or a change in transportation policy for its officials, are not publicly specified.

The helipad is permanently closed and deregistered. The physical site is now an unused rooftop space on the Fórum Trabalhista Ruy Barbosa building. The building itself remains fully operational as one of São Paulo's primary labor courts.

The helipad, officially identified by the ICAO code SBAR (the BR-2050 identifier is a non-standard national code), was a private facility located atop the Fórum Trabalhista Ruy Barbosa, a major judicial complex in São Paulo. Its primary operation was to provide rapid and secure air transport for judges, high-ranking court officials, and other authorities. In a city renowned for its intense road traffic and the world's largest urban helicopter fleet, the helipad served as a critical logistical tool, enabling officials to travel efficiently between courts, government buildings, and airports. Its existence highlighted the importance of the judicial body and was part of the vast infrastructure supporting São Paulo's extensive helicopter operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the helipad. Since the closure was initiated by the court's own administration, a reversal of this decision is highly unlikely. Any potential reopening would require a completely new and rigorous certification process with ANAC to comply with current aviation safety and infrastructure regulations, which would be a significant undertaking.
