Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The exact closure date is unknown as there are no official records for this private airstrip. Based on its complete reclamation by surrounding farmland visible in satellite imagery, it likely fell into disuse and was abandoned sometime in the late 20th or early 21st century. It was not 'closed' in an official regulatory sense but rather ceased to be maintained and used by its private owner.

Reason for Closure

The reason for closure is not officially documented. However, given that 'Fazenda' is Portuguese for farm/ranch, this was a private utility airstrip. The closure was almost certainly due to private economic or operational reasons. Plausible causes include: the farm changing ownership, the owner no longer possessing an aircraft, the airstrip becoming too expensive to maintain, or a change in the farm's logistical needs that rendered an airstrip obsolete.

Current Status

The site is no longer recognizable as an airport or airstrip. High-resolution satellite imagery of the coordinates shows the area has been fully converted into agricultural land, likely for crop cultivation or pasture. The former runway has been plowed over and is now indistinguishable from the surrounding fields. There is no remaining aviation infrastructure, such as hangars, markings, or buildings.

Historical Significance

The airstrip held no national or regional historical significance. It was a private dirt or grass runway exclusively serving the agricultural and logistical needs of the Fazenda Princesa do Sul. Its operations would have been limited to General Aviation, specifically small, single-engine aircraft used for personal transportation for the farm's owners or for agricultural aviation (e.g., crop dusting). It never supported commercial, military, or scheduled public flights. The ICAO code 'BR-2098' is a non-standard identifier, often used in unofficial databases for small or unregistered airfields, further indicating its private, low-traffic nature.

Reopening Prospects

There are zero known plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. Any initiative to reopen would have to come from the current private landowner and would require significant investment to clear the land, rebuild the runway, and complete the official registration process with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Given its remote rural location and the land's current agricultural use, there is no apparent economic or logistical incentive for its revival.
