Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The exact date is unknown as it was a private airstrip with no public record of its closure. However, analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates it fell into disuse between 2010 and 2016. Imagery from 2010 shows a clearly defined and maintained dirt runway, while by 2016, the runway was significantly overgrown and no longer appeared serviceable. By 2020, it was almost completely reclaimed by vegetation.

Reason for Closure

No official reason is documented. As a private airstrip serving a farm ('fazenda'), the closure was almost certainly due to private operational or economic factors. Common reasons for such closures include: the farm changing ownership, the owners no longer operating aircraft, the high cost of maintenance versus its utility, or a shift in the farm's logistical needs. The airport simply fell into disuse and was not maintained.

Current Status

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists in a functional state. The site of the former runway is now completely overgrown and has been reclaimed by the surrounding pasture and farmland. A faint linear scar on the landscape, visible in satellite imagery, is the only remaining evidence of its existence. The land is currently used for agricultural purposes, likely cattle grazing, consistent with the primary activities in the region.

Historical Significance

The airport held no major public or historical significance. It was a private dirt/grass airstrip whose sole purpose was to serve the logistical needs of the agricultural property it was on, the 'Fazenda Futuro' (Future Farm). Its operations would have been limited to small, general aviation aircraft suitable for unpaved runways. These flights would have been used to transport the farm's owners, personnel, visitors, and urgent supplies to and from a relatively remote rural location, bypassing undeveloped local roads. It may have also supported agricultural aviation activities (e.g., crop dusting). The ICAO code 'BR-2055' is a non-standard, national identifier used by third-party databases, indicating it was likely never officially registered with ICAO under a standard code.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that it has been defunct for many years and the land has been fully returned to agricultural use, reopening would require a complete reconstruction of the runway. Such an investment is highly unlikely without a significant new economic driver for the farm or the immediate area that would necessitate a private airstrip.
