Not much is known as this is a recent incident. Voepass Linhas Aéreas Flight 2283[1] was a Brazilian passenger flight that crashed in Vinhedo, São Paulo, on 9 August 2024, after entering what appeared to be a flat spin.[3] The aircraft, an ATR 72-500 turboprop airliner, was flying from Cascavel Airport, Cascavel, Paraná, to Guarulhos International Airport, São Paulo, with 57 passengers and four crew members on board. The aircraft was flying at an altitude of 17,000 ft (5,200 m) when it spun out of control and entered a rapid descent at around 13:22 local time.[4] All 61 people on board were killed. It was the first fatal accident in Brazilian commercial aviation since the 2011 crash of Noar Linhas Aéreas Flight 4896, and the first fatal aviation incident involving Voepass Linhas Aéreas since its establishment in 1995.[5][6] The crash is also the deadliest aviation incident in Brazil since TAM Airlines Flight 3054 in July 2007.[7]
Rest in peace those who died in this tragic crash. Videos of the aircraft before it crashed were widely shared on social media,[16][19] which showed the aircraft in a downward flat spin, in a slight nose-down orientation. Brazilian television news channel GloboNews interrupted Olympics coverage to broadcast from the area around the crash, showing a large amount of fire and smoke rising from a plane fuselage.[18][24][25]
