Fazenda Quebracho Brasil Airport

The closure was most likely due to economic reasons and operational obsolescence. As a private airfield serving a 'fazenda' (ranch), its use was tied to the needs of the property owner. Potential reasons include the sale of the ranch, the owner ceasing aviation activities, or improved ground transportation rendering the airstrip unnecessary. The gradual decay visible in satellite imagery suggests abandonment rather than a sudden closure due to an accident or regulatory action.

The site is currently abandoned and has reverted to pastureland. The former dirt/grass runway is heavily overgrown and is no longer maintained or usable for aviation. From the ground, it would be largely indistinguishable from the surrounding fields. Its faint outline is still visible in recent satellite photos, but it serves no function as an airfield.

The airport's significance was purely logistical and private, serving the 'Fazenda Quebracho Brasil'. Located in a remote area of the Pantanal biome in Mato Grosso do Sul, near the Paraguayan border, the airstrip was a vital link for the ranch. Operations would have consisted of light general aviation aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper models) used to transport personnel, the owner, urgent supplies, and high-value, low-volume cargo. It provided rapid access to and from urban centers, bypassing the region's often challenging or non-existent road infrastructure.

There are no known official plans or public prospects for reopening the Fazenda Quebracho Brasil Airport. Re-establishing the airstrip would require a significant private investment by the current landowner to clear, grade, and potentially seek new certification from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Given its long period of disuse, a reopening is considered highly unlikely unless the economic activities of the ranch change drastically to require private air access once again.
