Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Closure Date

Circa late 1990s to early 2000s. The exact date is not publicly documented, but the closure coincides with major urban redevelopment in the area.

Reason for Closure

Urban Redevelopment. The heliport was located on prime real estate in Brasília's central zone. The land was re-purposed for the construction and expansion of the Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), Brazil's Federal Court of Accounts. This is a common fate for small, privately-owned airfields in rapidly growing urban centers.

Current Status

The site of the former heliport is now completely occupied by the Annex II and Annex III buildings of the Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU). The original aviation infrastructure has been entirely removed. The TCU complex does operate its own modern, rooftop helipad (ICAO: SJTC) for official use, but this is a separate facility from the historical ESAT heliport.

Historical Significance

ESAT Aerotáxi Heliport was a private heliport operated by the air taxi company 'ESAT Aerotáxi'. Its strategic location in the Setor de Indústrias Gráficas (SIG), close to government ministries, federal courts, and media headquarters, made it a key facility for executive and government transport. It primarily handled helicopter charter services for business leaders, politicians, and officials needing rapid transit within the Federal District and to nearby cities, bypassing traffic. The identifier 'BR-2111' is a non-official code, likely used in third-party aviation databases, as it does not follow the standard 4-letter ICAO format used by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).

Reopening Prospects

None. The site has been permanently and completely redeveloped for a major federal government institution. There are no plans, prospects, or physical space for the heliport to ever reopen at its original location.
