The crash was the deadliest aviation accident in Brazil since TAM Airlines Flight 3054 in July 2007.[6]
Aviation experts believe that ice buildup could have been a reason for the crash.[7]
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was at an event in the south of the country when he received news of the crash and asked for a moment of silence at the event for those on board. Later that evening, he declared three days of national mourning in response to the crash.[8]
