Fazenda Alvorada do Marape Airport

Land conversion for agricultural use. The satellite imagery definitively shows that the land formerly occupied by the airstrip was repurposed for farming. This is a common economic decision for private airstrips on agricultural properties, where the value of the land for cultivation outweighs the utility of the airstrip.

The airport is permanently closed and no longer exists. The site of the former runway and any associated facilities has been completely converted into farmland. Current satellite imagery shows the area is actively used for row crop cultivation, likely soy or corn, which are dominant in the Tapurah region of Mato Grosso.

The airport was a private airstrip (in Portuguese, 'pista de pouso e decolagem') with no major national or regional significance. Its purpose was to serve the logistical needs of the 'Fazenda Alvorada do Marape,' a large agricultural ranch. Operations would have been restricted to general aviation, likely including small aircraft for agricultural spraying (ag-aviation), transportation of farm personnel and owners, and the delivery of light cargo and supplies. The ICAO code 'BR-2103' is an unofficial identifier used by third-party data aggregators and not an official code assigned by the Brazilian Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC), indicating it was likely an unregistered or privately cataloged airstrip.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. Given that the land has been fully reclaimed for high-value agricultural production, it is extremely unlikely that the airstrip will be reconstructed. Reopening would require taking productive farmland out of commission, which is not economically viable.
