Circa 1997-1998. The exact date is not documented in public records, but the closure is directly linked to the acquisition of its owner, Cotia Foods S/A (Cotia Alimentos S.A.), by Ceval Alimentos in 1997.
Corporate acquisition and restructuring. The heliport was an asset of Cotia Foods S/A. When the company was acquired, its dedicated corporate infrastructure, including the heliport, was likely deemed redundant or was not maintained by the new ownership (Ceval Alimentos, which was later acquired by Bunge). The closure was an economic and operational decision following the change in company ownership.
The site of the former heliport is now part of a large, active industrial complex operated by Bunge Alimentos S.A. The coordinates provided point directly into this facility located in Cotia, São Paulo. The physical infrastructure of the heliport (e.g., helipad markings) is no longer present or identifiable, and the area has been fully integrated into the operations of the Bunge plant. The ICAO code BR-2131 is officially decommissioned and no longer registered with Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).
The Cotia Foods S/A Heliport was a private facility with no major public or historical significance. Its sole purpose was to serve the logistical needs of the Cotia Foods S/A company. It was used for corporate and executive helicopter transport, allowing personnel to bypass the heavy road traffic in the São Paulo metropolitan area and travel efficiently between the Cotia plant and business districts, airports, or other company sites. The operations were exclusively private and tied to the business activities of the food processing company.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport under its former name or ICAO designator. The original entity no longer exists, and the designator is defunct. While the current site owner, Bunge, could potentially establish a new heliport at the location, it would require a completely new application, certification, and registration process with ANAC. There is no public information to suggest any such intention.
