Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was officially and permanently closed on May 15, 2018. This was formalized by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) through ordinance PORTARIA Nº 1299/SIA, which removed the aerodrome from the national registry.

Reason for Closure

The closure was an administrative action by ANAC, officially excluding the aerodrome from its records. For private airstrips like this one, such an action is typically initiated at the owner's request to eliminate the regulatory, maintenance, and financial burdens of keeping an airport registered. It is likely the operational needs of the farm (Fazenda) changed, or the cost of maintaining the airstrip to ANAC's standards was no longer justified.

Current Status

The site is completely abandoned as an airfield. Satellite imagery confirms that the single dirt runway is in a state of total disrepair, heavily overgrown with grass and other vegetation. It is no longer maintained or suitable for any aircraft operations. The land has effectively reverted to being part of the surrounding pasture of the Fazenda Sant'Anna.

Historical Significance

The airport was a private aerodrome officially known as Sant'Anna Aerodrome, with the correct ICAO code SJYI (the identifier BR-2083 is an unofficial or outdated designation). Its sole purpose was to serve the logistical needs of the Fazenda Sant'Anna, a large agricultural property, likely a cattle ranch, which is common in the Aquidauana region. The airstrip provided vital air access to a relatively remote area, facilitating the transport of personnel, owners, veterinarians, and urgent supplies via small general aviation aircraft (e.g., Cessna or Piper models). Its significance was entirely private and crucial for the efficient operation of the ranch.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Since it has been officially deleted from the national aviation registry and its physical infrastructure is derelict, reopening would be a complex and expensive process. The property owner would need to invest significantly to restore the runway and then apply for a new aerodrome certification from ANAC, a process with stringent requirements. This is considered highly unlikely.
