Azul plane sinks in the courtyard of Fernando de Noronha airport before takeoff
An Azul Linhas Aéreas Embraer E195-E2 sank on the courtyard asphalt of Fernando de Noronha airport on Sunday morning (22) during the pushback procedure. The incident occurred moments before flight takeoff from AD4719 to Recife.
The PS-AEO registration aircraft and in operation since May 2023 had the left main landing train committed to giving on the courtyard surface. The problem prevented the continuity of boarding and mobilized teams from the concessionaire of the terminal and technicians of the airline itself. The withdrawal of the aircraft took about three hours.
With the incident, flight AD4719, which was expected to take off at 10:10 am, only left at 1:10 pm (Brasília time). The delay impacted other company operations, such as the Recife – Porto Alegre flight (AD4150), scheduled for 12:45, which only departed at 15h. The return, which should take place at 5:50 pm, was reprogrammed at 7:50 pm.
The wheel of the Embraer 195-E2 aircraft of Azul Linhas Airlines at Fernando de Noronha Airport in Brazil was stuck on the floor due to the collapse during the Push-Back process.
