Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Circa 2013-2015. An exact official date is not readily available, but analysis of historical satellite imagery shows that the runway was still intact in early 2013, while significant road construction and land parcelling for urban development began to overwrite the site between 2014 and 2015.

Reason for Closure

Urban encroachment and real estate development. Rondonópolis is a major and rapidly growing hub for Brazil's agribusiness sector. The land on which the small airfield was located became more valuable for residential and commercial development as the city expanded. The closure was not due to a specific accident, military conversion, or sudden economic failure of the operator, but rather a gradual and planned redevelopment of the land.

Current Status

The site has been completely and irreversibly redeveloped. The former airport grounds are now occupied by residential neighborhoods, including parts of 'Jardim Village do Cerrado' and 'Jardim Morumbi'. A major thoroughfare, Avenida Poguba, cuts directly across the former runway's path. The land is now a dense grid of streets, houses, and commercial lots, fully integrated into the urban fabric of Rondonópolis. There are no remaining traces of the hangars or the runway itself.

Historical Significance

The airport, as its name 'Agroer Aviação Agrícola' (Agroer Agricultural Aviation) implies, was a private aerodrome dedicated to supporting the agricultural industry. Its primary function was to serve as a base for crop-dusting aircraft (aviões agrícolas) and other aerial application services. These aircraft are vital in the vast soy, cotton, and corn plantations of the Mato Grosso state. The airport handled small, specialized fixed-wing aircraft and was a crucial piece of local infrastructure for agribusiness operations in the region before the city's expansion made its location untenable.

Reopening Prospects

Zero. The physical infrastructure of the airport has been completely demolished and built over with permanent urban structures. Reopening an airport at this location is physically, legally, and economically impossible due to the extensive residential and commercial development now occupying the site.
