On the morning of Monday, August 31, a Latam Airlines plane carrying 151 people exited the runway during landing at the Regional Airport of Cascavel, located in western Paraná. According to the airline, there were no injuries among passengers and crew.

Following the incident, the plane became stuck in a muddy area, complicating its removal. The airline did not provide details on the exact cause of the aircraft leaving the runway.

A pilot mentioned by news outlets stated that the runway was slippery during the landing. The condition of the runway may have contributed to the incident, although no official confirmation has been made in that regard.

As a result of the accident, the airport runway remains closed, with air operations halted while recovery procedures for the aircraft are underway.

Aviation authorities are assessing the situation, but no information has yet been released regarding when the runway will be reopened for new operations.
