Unknown. The airport is not listed in the current official database of Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), indicating it is no longer registered or active. As a private farm airstrip, it likely fell into disuse without a formal public closure date and was simply decommissioned by its owner.
The reason is not officially documented. However, given its nature as a private airstrip on a farm ('Fazenda'), the closure was almost certainly due to economic or logistical reasons. This could include the sale of the farm, the owner no longer operating aircraft, or the high cost of maintenance and compliance with aviation regulations for a low-traffic field.
Satellite imagery of the coordinates (-24.61, -52.36) shows a clearly defined, unpaved (grass or dirt) runway strip surrounded by active cropland. While the outline of the runway is still visible, it appears to be unused for aviation purposes and is blending back into the surrounding agricultural landscape. There are no visible aircraft, hangars, or support facilities, suggesting the site has reverted to farmland.
The airport's name, 'Fazenda Sorte Grande' (Great Luck Farm), and its location indicate it was a private aerodrome. Its sole purpose was to serve the agricultural and transportation needs of the farm and its owners. Operations would have been restricted to small, light aircraft, likely for personal travel, cargo, and potentially agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting). It held no significance as a public or commercial airport and did not handle scheduled flights.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Sorte Grande Airport. Any potential reactivation would be a private initiative by the current landowner and would require a new registration and certification process with ANAC. The probability of it being reopened, especially for public use, is extremely low.
