Approximately between 2017 and 2019. This is an estimate based on analysis of historical satellite imagery, which shows the runway was clearly maintained and visible until 2017 but appears overgrown and unserviceable in imagery from 2019 onwards.
The specific reason is not officially documented. However, given its nature as a private airstrip serving a farm ('fazenda'), the closure was most likely due to economic factors or a change in the farm's operational needs. Common reasons for such closures include the high cost of maintenance, the sale of the property, a shift away from agricultural aviation, or the airstrip simply falling into disuse and no longer being required by the owners. There is no evidence to suggest closure was due to an accident or military conversion.
The site is completely abandoned as an airfield. High-resolution satellite imagery shows the former dirt/grass runway is no longer maintained. It is heavily overgrown with vegetation and is blending back into the surrounding landscape of pastures and cropland. The area is unusable for any aviation purposes and the land has reverted to agricultural use, likely as pasture or fallow ground.
The airport, as indicated by its name 'Fazenda Divisão' (Division Ranch/Farm), was a private aerodrome. Its primary and sole purpose was to support the logistical and agricultural operations of the large rural property on which it was located. Operations would have typically included:
- **Agricultural Aviation:** Use by crop dusters and spray planes for treating crops on the expansive farmlands.
- **Private Transport:** Facilitating the transport of the farm's owners, managers, personnel, and visitors.
- **Logistics and Cargo:** Flying in urgent supplies, spare parts for machinery, and other essential goods to a remote location.
Its significance was entirely local and private, crucial for the efficiency and management of the fazenda rather than for public or commercial travel.
There are no known plans or publicly available information suggesting any prospect of reopening Fazenda Divisão Airport. As a small, privately owned airstrip that has been defunct for several years, the likelihood of it being restored and recertified for aviation use is extremely low. Any reopening would require significant private investment and a renewed operational need from the landowner.
