Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The airport does not have an officially documented closure date as it was a private airstrip. Analysis of historical satellite imagery indicates it was well-maintained and active in the mid-2000s through the early 2010s. By 2016, the runway began to show clear signs of disuse and overgrowth. The facility was likely fully abandoned and became unusable for aviation purposes sometime between 2012 and 2016.

Reason for Closure

The precise reason is not publicly documented. However, given its nature as a private airstrip serving a 'Fazenda' (farm/ranch), the closure was almost certainly due to economic or operational reasons. Common factors for such closures include: a change in the farm's ownership, the owner no longer operating aircraft, the airstrip becoming too expensive to maintain, or improved local road access making air transport redundant for the farm's needs. The gradual decay visible in satellite imagery suggests a simple abandonment rather than a closure caused by a specific incident.

Current Status

As of the latest satellite imagery, the site is completely abandoned and non-operational as an airport. The former dirt/grass runway is still faintly visible from the air but is heavily overgrown with grass and shrubs, making it unusable for any aircraft. The land has effectively reverted to being part of the surrounding pasture and agricultural fields of the Fazenda. The nearby farm buildings appear to remain in use for agricultural activities.

Historical Significance

The airport, also known as 'Aeródromo Fazenda dos Sonhos', held no national or regional historical significance. Its importance was purely local and private, serving exclusively the logistical needs of the Fazenda dos Sonhos ranch. Operations would have consisted of light, general aviation aircraft (such as a Cessna 206 or Piper Seneca) for transporting the owner, personnel, visitors, and high-value supplies to and from the remote property. The ICAO code 'BR-2101' is a non-standard identifier, likely assigned by a third-party GPS or flight simulation database, as official Brazilian ICAO codes begin with 'S'. This further underscores its status as a private, and likely unregistered or de-registered, utility airstrip.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known or published plans to reopen the Fazenda dos Sonhos Airport. Re-establishing the airstrip would require significant investment in clearing, grading, and potentially re-certifying the runway. Since it was likely closed due to a lack of economic or operational need, it is highly improbable that it will be brought back into service in the foreseeable future.
