Minas Empreendimentos Heliport

The specific reason for the closure is not officially recorded. However, it is almost certainly due to economic and operational factors. The closure of private, corporate heliports like this one is typically driven by a combination of high maintenance costs, insurance liabilities, infrequent use, and changes in the corporate policy of the building's owner or primary tenant. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or urban redevelopment.

The physical helipad is still extant and clearly visible on the roof of the Carrefour Contagem building. Satellite imagery shows the concrete pad with the painted 'H' landing marker and circular boundary. However, the facility is decommissioned, non-operational, and not certified for aviation use by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). The site is simply the roof of an active retail hypermarket, and the helipad is a legacy structure.

Minas Empreendimentos Heliport was a private rooftop heliport. The identifier 'BR-2132' is not an official ICAO code (which for Brazil start with 'S') but rather an informal identifier used by some third-party aviation databases. When active, its official designation would have been different. The heliport was located atop the large commercial building at Av. Babita Camargos, 1295, which currently houses a Carrefour hypermarket. Its primary function was to provide private, direct air access for corporate executives and VIPs, likely associated with the management of the commercial center or Carrefour's regional operations. Its significance was purely logistical and private, facilitating rapid transport to and from a key commercial point in the industrial city of Contagem.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Minas Empreendimentos Heliport. Reactivating a heliport requires a rigorous and costly re-certification process to meet modern safety, security, and noise regulations. Given the likely lack of a business case for the current tenant, it is highly improbable that the necessary investment will be made. The heliport is expected to remain permanently closed.
