LATAM plane leaves the runway when landing in Chapecó and stops in the grass area
Carlos Martins
A LATAM Brasil aircraft left the runway this Monday (31), at 7:36 pm, during landing at Chapecó Airport, in Santa Catarina.
The A319 jet, registration PR-MYM, was operating flight LA3276, originating from Guarulhos International Airport (SP). During the first approach, the aircraft had to go around due to low visibility. Some time later, it made a second attempt, after waiting near the airport.
On the second approach, the plane managed to land on runway 29, but was unable to stop completely, going over runway 11 and going a few meters beyond the runway, stopping in a grassy area:
The weather forecast at the time of landing reported light rain with storms and heavy clouds at 3,000 feet (900m) high.
Airport firefighters immediately provided assistance to the aircraft. At the time of publication of this article, the plane had not yet been removed from the scene, and the passengers had not disembarked. There were no reports of injuries.
We contacted LATAM and the company informed us that it is investigating the incident and that “ it has started moving teams and materials to remove its aircraft in Chapecó (SC). On Monday (31/03), flight LA3276 (São Paulo/Guarulhos-Chapecó) exceeded the runway limit at the Santa Catarina airport during landing. There were no injuries. LATAM is communicating and offering all necessary assistance to impacted customers. The company will inform in due course about the resumption of its operations in Chapecó (SC) ”.
As a result of the incident in Chapecó (SC), LATAM had to cancel the following flights:
- LA3277 (Chapeco-Sao Paulo/Guarulhos) from 31/03
- LA3278 (Sao Paulo/Guarulhos-Chapeco) from 1/04
- LA3279 (Chapeco-Sao Paulo/Guarulhos) from 1/04
- LA3822 (Sao Paulo/Guarulhos-Chapeco) from 1/04
- LA3823 (Chapeco-Sao Paulo/Guarulhos) from 1/04
Voe Xap, the concessionaire responsible for the airport, said in a statement that the aircraft “ exceeded the runway limits during the landing procedure. The concessionaire’s teams were immediately mobilized and are providing all necessary assistance. The operation and landing took place in complete safety. Voe Xap continues to work with LATAM to ensure adequate support and the clearance of the runway as soon as possible .”
A notification issued by the Air Force confirmed that the airport runway is closed and there is no forecast for when it will be reopened.
