On 16 September 2023, an Embraer 110 Bandeirante of Manaus Aerotaxi crashed on approach. The crash occurred as the aircraft was attempting to land at Barcelos Airport while performing a go-around, killing all 14 occupants on board.^[1] All the occupants on board were tourists going to a fishing competition in Rio Negro.^[2] The crash is the deadliest in Brazil since the crash of NOAR Linhas Aéreas Flight 4896 in 2011.

Background

The accident took place during the high rainy season.^[3]

Barcelos is known for ecotourism activities, particularly fishing, and it is one of the main sport fishing destinations in Brazil.^[3]

Accident

The aircraft was on final approach, after an aborted landing and an attempt to go-around in heavy rain and bad weather conditions, when it crashed into an embankment short of the runway. All the occupants on board the aircraft died. There was no post-crash fire.^[4]

Early reports stated that American citizens were among the victims;^[5] later reports stated though that all the passengers were Brazilians.^[3]

Due to the bad weather, other airplanes that approached the airport at around the same time returned to Manaus.^[3]

Aircraft

The accident aircraft was an Embraer 110 Bandeirante with registration PT-SOG, built in 1991 with c/n 110490.^[6]

The EMB-110P1 is powered by two PT6A-34 turboprop engines produced by Canadian manufacturer Pratt & Whitney.

Investigation

An investigation is launched into the cause of the accident. The bodies were taken to Manaus for formal identification.^[7]
