“I thought about my life because I spent four and a half hours on a plane waiting for God’s miracle so that the plane wouldn’t crash. I thought a lot about my life, I thought about you, I thought about the people of São Paulo, I thought about the humble people of this country that we try to help”said Lula live with the candidate for mayor of São Paulo Guilherme Boulos (Psol) on Instagram.
Shortly after taking off from Mexico City on Tuesday (1st.Oct), the presidential plane, an Airbus 319 CJ, had problems and flew in circles over the region of General Felipe Ángeles International Airport for almost 5 hours to burn off fuel and power. land safely on site.
Lula and members of his entourage changed planes and took off again for Brasília. The president had gone to Mexico to participate in President Claudia Sheinbaum’s inauguration ceremony.
The commander of AeronauticsMarcelo Damasceno, said this Thursday (October 3, 2024) that there is no evidence that there was a bird collision with the plane.
He stated, however, that the hypothesis has not been ruled out and that the investigations, conducted by the Cenipa (Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center), will still determine the exact causes of the breakdown. According to him, at no point was one of the plane’s engines turned off.
According to Damasceno, Cenipa sent 2 technicians to the Caribbean country to investigate what happened. Members of Latam and Aeroméxico also help. The military officer also stated that the pilot of the presidential plane correctly complied with all the protocols indicated for the situation.
The plane used by the president, nicknamed Aerolula, will turn 20 years old on January 5, 2025. Damasceno defended the purchase of a new aircraft, with greater flight range and greater internal space.
“Personally I defend [a compra de novo equipamento]. The plane is very safe, but it has autonomy that partially suits us. I think that Brazil, a world power, should have a bigger plane, with more autonomy and more space to carry the country’s president”, he said.
