Coca-Cola Heliport

There is no official public reason for the heliport's closure to regular traffic. As a private facility owned by a corporation, the cessation of use is presumed to be the result of an internal business decision by its owner, Uberlândia Refrescos (the local Coca-Cola bottler). Common reasons for such a change include shifts in executive travel policies, cost-cutting measures, or a determination that helicopter transport was no longer a logistical necessity for their operations.

The physical infrastructure of the helipad remains on the roof of the Uberlândia Refrescos building at Av. Comendador Alexandrino Garcia, 1300. However, the site is inactive. Satellite imagery confirms the presence of the helipad with a faded 'H' marking, indicating a lack of recent use and maintenance. The site is part of the active and operational Coca-Cola industrial plant, but the heliport itself is not used for aviation.

The heliport, officially named 'Uberlândia Refrescos' (ICAO: SIUB) and sometimes unofficially referenced as 'Coca-Cola Heliport' (BR-2058), held local corporate significance. It is a private rooftop helipad situated atop the main administrative building of the Coca-Cola bottling and distribution plant in Uberlândia. Its primary purpose was to serve the company's logistical and transportation needs, primarily for executive travel. It allowed company officials and important visitors to travel directly to and from the plant, bypassing city traffic and connecting efficiently with the main Uberlândia Airport (SBUL) or other regional destinations.

There are no known public plans or prospects for the heliport to be reopened for regular operations. Any potential reactivation would be entirely dependent on the business needs and discretion of its owner, Uberlândia Refrescos. Given its prolonged period of dormancy, a return to active service is considered highly unlikely unless the company's logistical requirements change significantly.
