Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Information not available. As a private airstrip, its cessation of use was likely informal and not officially documented. Some unofficial databases list it as 'closed', but a specific date is unknown.

Reason for Closure

Information not available. The closure was likely due to private reasons of the landowner, such as a change in land use (e.g., prioritizing agriculture), sale of the property, or the owner no longer operating aircraft. It was not a formal closure of a public facility.

Current Status

Satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the faint outline of a disused airstrip on private farmland. The strip is overgrown with vegetation and appears unmaintained and unusable for aviation. The surrounding area is actively used for agriculture.

Historical Significance

The site holds no known official historical significance. It appears to have been a private grass or dirt airstrip, most likely used for agricultural aviation (crop dusting) or personal recreational flights, which is common in this rural region of Brazil. It would not have handled commercial traffic or significant general aviation operations.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen this airstrip. Any future use would be entirely at the discretion of the current landowner and would require significant ground preparation and proper registration with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) to be operated legally.
