A Voepass ATR 72-600 operating a flight from Rio Verde to Sao Paulo Guarulhos suffered an "electrical problem" on 15 August, Brazil's aviation safety agency has disclosed. The National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) says in a statement that flight PTB 2211 landed at Uberlandia airport as a precaution. On 16 August, ANAC was scheduled to meet with representatives from Voepass about the company's "surveillance process" and to discuss this incident. The incident follows the 9 August fatal crash of another ATR 72-500 (MSN 908) operated by the airline.

The US Federal Aviation Administration has issued an airworthiness directive (AD) requiring some Boeing 787 operators to inspect switch covers on the pilots' seats following a March incident where a LATAM Airlines aircraft was involved in a mid-air dive. The AD states that in that incident, the "uncommanded movement of the captain’s seat caused the control column input to disconnect the auto-pilot, resulting in a rapid descent until the first officer took control of the flight". Four other reports of similar uncommanded seat movement were received after the incident, with three traced back to loose rocker switch caps that could depress the switches, causing "unintended and sustained movement of the seat," the AD states. In turn, this can cause " in-flight upset from unintended and abrupt flight control inputs, which could result in a rapid descent of the airplane and serious injury to passengers and crew." The AD requires visual inspection of rocker switch caps in the seats in accordance with a service bulletin issued by seat manufacturer Ipeco that was issued in July, which also calls for the replacement of any cracked or missing covers. Operators have 30 days to comply with the directive, which affects 158 US-registered aircraft and 737 globally, the FAA states. Fleets data shows that there are 1,119 787s in service globally with a further 794 on order. The LATAM incident occurred on 11 March on board a 787-9 that was operating a scheduled service between Sydney and Auckland, which experienced a strong movement that led to 10 passengers and three crew requiring medical attention after the aircraft landed. The day after that incident, Boeing issued a reminder to 787 operators of a 2017 service bulletin that included instructions for maintaining switches on flight deck seats.

Voepass, the Brazilian airline which lost an ATR 72-500 carrying 62 people last week, has sought to assure the public of its compliance with all industry safety standards. "Voepass operates in a highly regulated sector, with rigorous requirements that guarantee the safety of airline operations," it says in a statement issued on 15 August, adding that its aircraft do not operate "without being in strict accordance with the regulations." It also sought to calm speculation about the repair history of the aircraft, MSN 908, which fleets data shows underwent repairs for minor damage sustained in a March incident before returning to service in July. "Only official investigations will be able to identify the causes of the accident. Speculation about technical repairs carried out in the past only serves to increase the suffering and immense pain of the families of the 58 passengers and four crew members involved in this tragic accident," the airline states. The airline expresses its "deepest regret and solidarity with everyone". It states: "We are fully committed to offering all the necessary support at this extremely difficult time, providing comprehensive assistance to affected families. The company also reaffirms its commitment to fully collaborate with the competent authorities throughout the investigation process so that the causes of the accident are clarified as quickly as possible." Brazil's air accident investigator, CENIPA, has extracted information from the flight data and cockpit voice recorders of the ATR 72 which crashed in Vinhedo on 9 August, and is carrying out a detailed study of the pilots' conversations, cockpit sounds and air traffic control transmissions. It intends to issue an interim report on the accident within 30 days. Fleets data shows that the aircraft was delivered in 2010 and had been operated by Belle Air and Pelita Air Service before being leased by Voepass in June 2023. It is managed by Nordic Aviation Capital.
