Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The heliport was officially removed from the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) registry on January 15, 2018. The decision to cease operations was likely made by the operator on or before this date.

Reason for Closure

The closure was executed at the formal request of its operator, the Club Med Trancoso resort. The official ANAC document (Portaria Nº 103/SIA) cites the operator's request as the reason for its exclusion from the registry. This indicates a private business decision, likely driven by economic factors, changes in operational strategy, or low demand, rather than an accident or regulatory enforcement.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport is now an open, grassy area on the cliffs within the Club Med Trancoso resort grounds. Satellite imagery shows no remaining helipad markings or aviation infrastructure. The area is integrated into the resort's landscape and is likely used as a scenic viewpoint or recreational space for guests.

Historical Significance

The facility was officially registered as 'Club Med Heliport' with the ICAO code SNTJ. The name 'Coqueiral' (meaning 'coconut grove') and the identifier BR-2064 were likely unofficial designations. It functioned as a private heliport exclusively serving the upscale Club Med Trancoso resort. Its primary operation was handling private and charter helicopter flights for guests, offering a luxurious and direct mode of transport from regional airports like Porto Seguro Airport (SBPS). This service provided an exclusive arrival and departure experience, enhancing the resort's luxury appeal by offering scenic views and bypassing ground travel.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known public plans or official prospects for reopening the heliport. As the closure was initiated by the resort's management, any potential reopening would be entirely dependent on a new strategic and financial decision by Club Med. It is currently considered permanently closed.
