Fazenda Caranday Airport

The airfield was decommissioned 'a pedido do proprietário' (at the owner's request), as documented in the official ANAC ordinance. This indicates the private owner of the 'Fazenda Caranday' (Caranday Ranch) voluntarily chose to close the airstrip and have it removed from the national aviation registry, likely due to changes in the farm's operational needs, economic factors, or liability concerns.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists in an operational capacity. The site has been delisted from all official aviation databases. Satellite imagery of the coordinates confirms that while the physical outline of the dirt runway is still visible, it is no longer maintained for aviation purposes and is being reclaimed by vegetation. The land has reverted to exclusive use by the private ranch.

Fazenda Caranday Airport, which also used the ICAO-style identifier SIYV before its closure, was a private airstrip critical to the operations of the agricultural estate it served. Located in the remote Pantanal region of Mato Grosso do Sul, where ground transportation can be difficult or impossible, the airport was a vital logistical hub. Its operations were focused on general aviation, supporting the ranch by transporting owners, staff, veterinarians, and essential supplies. It also provided a crucial link for emergency medical evacuations. The airport featured a single unpaved (dirt/grass) runway, approximately 900 meters (2,953 feet) long, suitable for small, propeller-driven aircraft common in bush and farm flying, such as Cessna or Piper models.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Caranday Airport. As a private airfield closed at the owner's request, any initiative to reopen would have to come from the landowner. This would require a completely new and rigorous registration and certification process with ANAC to ensure compliance with current safety and infrastructure standards, making a reopening highly unlikely.
