Experienced pilots
\nOn August 9, 2024, Voepass Flight 2283 took off from Cascavel, Paran\u00e1, bound for Guarulhos, S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n

All 62 people on board, 58 passengers and 4 crew, lost their lives.<\/p>\n
The plane was an ATR 72-500, piloted by the experienced Captain Danilo Santos Romano, 35, and First Officer Humberto Alencar e Silva, 61.<\/p>\n
