The press office of Minister Victor Conder Airport in Navegantes said four flights were canceled during the day due to a flight ban at Congonhas Airport.

Another six flights were delayed at departure or arrival at Santa Catarina airport, including due to an accident that occurred in Sao Paulo.

By Monday evening, the situation was under control, and takeoffs were scheduled for Guarulhos (South Carolina), Viracopos (South Carolina) and Congonhas (South Carolina) in the early evening.

In addition, landings in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro on Monday night proceeded as usual, according to the CCR Aeroportos flight panel.

The accident, which occurred at 13:32, resulted in the closure of the airport’s main runway. According to the Agência Brasil agency, dozens of arrivals and departures were canceled by 17:00.

Five people were on board a small plane that crashed at the Congonhas airport south of the city of Sao Paulo. The plane’s landing gear burst.

No harm done. As of Monday morning, at least 190 flights had been cancelled.

The landing gear tire accident happened to a Learjet. The aircraft overran the runway and came to rest on a section called “taxiway”.

After a nearly nine-hour ban in which takeoff and landing operations were halted, a withdrawal maneuver was carried out around 22:18 and other flights were cleared.

According to Infraero, the cancellations affected at least 13 states and the Federal District.
