Fazenda Palma Airport

There is no official public record stating the reason for closure. Given its nature as a private farm airstrip ('Fazenda' means farm or ranch in Portuguese), the closure was almost certainly due to private operational or economic reasons. Common causes for such closures include the sale of the property, the farm owner ceasing to operate a private aircraft, or a shift to using commercial aerial services operating from a larger nearby airport.

The airport is permanently closed and defunct. The site of the former runway is now completely overgrown with vegetation and is indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. The land has been reclaimed by nature and for agricultural use. There are no remaining aviation infrastructures, and the area is part of the private farm property.

Fazenda Palma Airport was a private airstrip with local, not national, significance. Its primary purpose was to support the agricultural and general aviation needs of the Fazenda Palma. Operations would have consisted of small, single-engine aircraft for personal transportation and likely agricultural aviation (ag-aviation), such as crop dusting or field surveying. It was never a public airport, did not handle commercial passenger traffic, and was not part of Brazil's official public airport network.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Palma Airport. Its status as a small, private airstrip that has been abandoned for over a decade, combined with the proximity of the fully operational Pelotas International Airport (IATA: PET, ICAO: SBPK), makes any future investment in or reopening of this site for aviation purposes extremely unlikely.
