Fazenda Água Verde Airport

The airport was closed for administrative reasons, resulting in its formal exclusion from the national aerodrome registry. This is a common fate for private airstrips that are no longer required by their owners, become too costly to maintain and certify, or fail to comply with evolving regulatory standards. There is no indication of a specific accident or military conversion leading to the closure.

Based on recent satellite imagery, the site of the former airport is now derelict. The unpaved runway is still faintly visible but is unmaintained, heavily overgrown with vegetation, and unusable for any aviation purposes. The land is effectively being reclaimed by the surrounding agricultural fields and natural landscape. The core activity in the area remains large-scale farming.

Fazenda Água Verde Airport was a private airstrip built to support the agricultural operations of the large farm ('fazenda') it was named after. Located in the heart of Brazil's agribusiness state, Mato Grosso, its primary function was to facilitate general and agricultural aviation. Operations would have included private transport for the farm's owners and managers, movement of urgent supplies and machinery parts, and, most importantly, serving as a base for agricultural aircraft used in crop dusting, seeding, and fertilizing the vast surrounding fields. Its significance was entirely local and economic, crucial for the efficiency and productivity of the specific agricultural enterprise it served.

There are no known or published plans to reopen Fazenda Água Verde Airport. As a privately owned airstrip that has been officially decommissioned and removed from the national registry for many years, any prospect of reopening is extremely low. It would require the landowner to invest significant capital to restore the runway to modern safety standards and undergo a completely new and rigorous certification process with ANAC, which is highly unlikely.
