CNN Brasil

On 9 January 2025, a Cessna CJ1+ aircraft (PR-GFS) crashed during landing at Gastão Madeira State Airport (UBT) in Ubatuba, Brazil, amid adverse weather.

Departing from Mineiros, Goiás, the aircraft, carrying five people, overshot the runway and came to rest in the nearby Baía de Ubatuba.

The crash claimed the life of the pilot, injured four passengers, and harmed three individuals on the ground.

Rain and a wet runway are suspected factors, with the Centre for the Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents (CENIPA) conducting an inquiry. This follows a similar aviation accident in Brazil in December 2024, raising concerns about private aviation safety.
