Plane crashes in Brazil’s Sao Paulo state, all 61 on board killed

A plane carrying 61 people has crashed outside the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, killing all onboard, local officials have said.

The Brazilian airline Voepass had confirmed on Friday that the plane crashed northeast of the city of Sao Paulo.

“The company regrets to inform that all 61 people on board flight 2283 died at the site,” Voepass said in a statement. “At this time, Voepass is prioritising provision of unrestricted assistance to the victims’ families and effectively collaborating with authorities to determine the causes of the accident.”

The airline said earlier that 62 people were aboard the flight before updating the number.

Officials in the town of Valinhos also said there were no survivors, and only one home in a local residential complex had been damaged in the area where the plane fell, but none of the residents were hurt.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva expressed condolences for the victims’ families earlier on Friday.

“I must be the bearer of very bad news, and I wanted all to stand up so we can take one minute of silence because a plane just fell in the town of Vinhedos in Sao Paulo … and it seems that all of them passed,” he said at an event shortly after the crash.

“So I’d like to ask for a minute of silence for the victims.”
