Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

The airport was physically abandoned and became unusable between 2014 and 2017. While the exact date of its official de-registration by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) is not publicly prominent, this typically occurs after an airfield has ceased operations. Satellite imagery confirms the runway was plowed over and integrated into surrounding farmland during this period.

Reason for Closure

The closure was due to the cessation of private operations. As a 'Fazenda' (farm/ranch) airstrip, its existence was tied to the needs of the agricultural enterprise it served. Common reasons for such closures in Brazil include the sale of the property, a change in the farm's operational needs, or the owner's decision to no longer bear the cost and regulatory burden of maintaining a private airfield. It was subsequently de-registered by ANAC for being non-operational.

Current Status

The site is no longer an airport. Current high-resolution satellite imagery shows that the land where the approximately 1,000-meter runway once existed has been completely reclaimed for agricultural purposes. The area is now part of a larger, cultivated field, with no visible traces of the former airstrip or any associated aviation infrastructure.

Historical Significance

Fazenda Apemag Airport was a private, unpaved airstrip with no significant national or public historical importance. Its role was purely functional and local, serving the agricultural and logistical needs of the Fazenda Apemag. Operations would have been limited to small, general aviation aircraft used for:
- Transporting farm owners, managers, and personnel.
- Flying in parts, supplies, and specialists.
- Potentially supporting agricultural aviation (crop dusting), a common practice in the state of Mato Grosso, which is a major center for Brazilian agribusiness.

Reopening Prospects

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the airport. The prospect is considered extremely low to non-existent. Re-establishing an airfield would require the current landowner to take valuable, productive farmland out of commission, invest significant capital in rebuilding the runway and facilities, and navigate the complex and costly regulatory process for certification with ANAC. Given that the land has been fully repurposed, this is highly improbable.
