Fazenda Lageado Airport

The specific reason is not officially documented. However, given its nature as a private airstrip serving a farm ('fazenda'), the closure was almost certainly due to economic or operational reasons. Common causes for such closures include the high cost of maintenance, the sale of the property to a new owner with no need for an airfield, or a change in the farm's logistical needs, making the airstrip obsolete.

The airport is abandoned and completely unusable. Satellite imagery confirms the presence of a single dirt runway, which is now heavily overgrown with grass, shrubs, and vegetation. There are no aircraft, support buildings, or any signs of aviation activity. The land has effectively been reclaimed by the surrounding pasture of the fazenda, though the faint outline of the runway remains visible from the air. The site is not used for any other purpose and is simply derelict.

Fazenda Lageado Airport was a private, unregistered airstrip. The identifier 'BR-2085' is not an official ICAO code but a national or informal designation, highlighting its minor and private status. Its sole purpose was to serve the logistical needs of the Fazenda Lageado, a large farm or ranch. Operations would have been limited to general aviation, handling small, light aircraft such as Cessna or Piper models. These aircraft would have been used for transporting personnel, light cargo, and supplies to and from the remote ranch, and potentially for agricultural purposes like crop dusting or cattle spotting. Its significance was entirely local and private to the farm's operations.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Lageado Airport. As a privately owned airstrip that has been defunct for many years, significant investment would be required to clear the land, regrade the runway, and bring it to modern safety standards. Without a compelling economic or operational need from the property owner, a reopening is considered extremely unlikely.
