Estimated to be in the late 2010s, likely between 2016 and 2020. Analysis of historical satellite imagery shows a well-maintained runway in 2016, which appears progressively overgrown and unused in imagery from 2020 onwards. No exact official closure date is publicly available.
The airport was a private airstrip serving a farm (fazenda). While there is no official statement, the closure was almost certainly due to economic or operational reasons. This could include the farm changing ownership, ceasing operations that required air support (like crop dusting), or the cost of maintaining the airstrip becoming prohibitive for the owner.
The site is an abandoned airstrip. Current satellite imagery shows a clearly defined but unpaved runway that is heavily overgrown with grass and other vegetation, making it completely unusable for aircraft. The surrounding land remains in active agricultural use, likely for palm oil or other crops. There are no buildings, hangars, or airport infrastructure remaining at the site.
The airport, named after the 'Fazenda Fartura' (Fartura Farm/Ranch) it served, had purely local and private significance. Its operations were dedicated to supporting the agricultural activities of the farm. This would have included light general aviation for transporting personnel and supplies, and potentially agricultural aviation (ag-av) aircraft for crop spraying over the surrounding plantations, which are common in the Tomé-Açu region. It never handled commercial or public flights and was not part of the national public airport infrastructure.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Fazenda Fartura Airport. As a private facility, any initiative to reopen would have to come from the landowner and be driven by a renewed economic need for an airstrip, which is unlikely given its abandonment. The prospects for reopening are considered extremely low to non-existent.
