Newton Heliport

Economic reasons. The heliport was a private facility exclusively owned and operated by the industrial company Newton S/A Indústria e Comércio. The company faced severe financial distress and ultimately went bankrupt. The closure of the heliport was a direct consequence of the parent company ceasing operations and its assets being sold off.

The heliport is permanently closed and decommissioned. The physical site, including the industrial complex it was part of, was sold as part of the bankruptcy proceedings of Newton S/A. The location is now an industrial property under new ownership. While the helipad's painted markings may still be visible on the building's rooftop via satellite imagery, it is no longer a registered or operational aviation facility.

Newton Heliport was a private corporate heliport located on the rooftop of the Newton S/A industrial plant. Its primary function was to support the business operations of the company, which was a major Brazilian manufacturer of heavy machinery, particularly industrial presses. The heliport handled executive transport for the company's directors and important clients, enhancing logistical efficiency and serving as a symbol of the company's prestige and economic power in the region during its peak. It was not a public facility and did not handle commercial or general aviation traffic.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening. The heliport's existence was tied directly to the specific needs of a company that no longer exists. Any future operation of a heliport at this location would require the new property owners to have a specific need and to undergo a completely new and independent certification process with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). There is no public information to suggest any such plans are being considered.
