Voepass Crash: Who’s to Blame | San Francisco News
Description
Brazil’s federal police have charged sixteen current and former Voepass employees—including owner José Luiz Felicio Filho—in connection with the August 2024 crash that killed all 62 aboard a turboprop near São Paulo. Investigators allege negligence, failure to log critical de-icing system malfunctions, and unsafe clearance into severe icing conditions, with some facing up to 12 years in prison. The probe, completed after two years, points to systemic failures in maintenance and oversight, and may soon extend to Brazil’s aviation authority, ANAC. This tragedy marks Brazil’s deadliest air crash in over a decade.
