The airport was officially and permanently closed on January 15, 2018. This was formalized by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) through ordinance PORTARIA Nº 103/SIA, which approved the exclusion of the airfield from the national registry.
The closure was voluntary and initiated by the airfield's owner. The official ANAC ordinance states the removal was 'a pedido do interessado' (at the request of the interested party). This indicates a private decision, most likely for economic or operational reasons, such as the owner no longer needing a private airstrip or wishing to repurpose the valuable land for full-time agricultural use.
The airport is completely decommissioned, and the site has been fully reclaimed for agriculture. High-resolution satellite imagery shows that the former runway area has been plowed over and is now used for planting crops, blending in with the surrounding farmland. While the faint outline of the runway is still visible from the air due to differences in soil compaction and history, no physical airport infrastructure, such as hangars, buildings, or runway markings, remains.
Novo Horizonte Airport, officially registered with the ICAO code SWNH and known as 'Fazenda Novo Horizonte', was a private airfield ('Aeródromo Privado'). Its significance was purely local, serving the agricultural and logistical needs of the farm (fazenda) it was named after. Operations were restricted to general aviation and would have typically included:
- Agricultural aviation (crop dusting, spraying, and surveying).
- Private transportation for the farm's owners, management, and associates.
- Small-scale cargo transport related to the farm's activities.
It featured a single 800-meter by 30-meter grass runway and never handled scheduled commercial passenger or public cargo flights. The identifier 'BR-2057' is likely a non-official designation from a third-party database, as its official code was SWNH.
There are no known plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening the Novo Horizonte Airport. Given that it was a private facility closed at the owner's request and the land has been successfully converted back to productive agricultural use, the likelihood of it being re-established as an airfield is extremely low to non-existent.
