VIDEO: Another Aircraft Gets Stuck on Fernando de Noronha Airport Apron After Asphalt Sinks
Fernando de Noronha, Brazil – June 30, 2025 For the second time in a week, an aircraft became stranded at Fernando de Noronha Airport after the asphalt on the apron gave way beneath it. On Sunday (29), a Gol Linhas Aéreas Boeing 737 got stuck while taxiing for takeoff on flight G3 1776, bound for São Paulo (Guarulhos) after arriving from Recife. The incident occurred with more than 100 passengers on board. Fortunately, no one was injured. Passengers were asked to disembark and wait while the aircraft was repositioned and the issue addressed. In an official statement, Gol confirmed that the aircraft encountered the issue during taxiing, attributing the problem to a section of the airport's asphalt that 'gave way.' The airline reported that the plane was promptly repositioned, and the flight continued to its destination without further complications. This is the second such incident in just over a week. On June 22, an Azul Embraer 195-E2 also became stuck on the apron under similar circumstances, raising concerns about the structural integrity and maintenance of the island's airport infrastructure. Authorities have not yet issued a statement regarding the repeated incidents or any planned measures to prevent future occurrences.

Boeing 737 Max Hits Car In The Middle of Runway During Takeoff
Takeoff and landing are the most dangerous parts of any flight, and the fatal mid-air collision in Washington, DC two weeks ago highlighted this. A Gol Boeing 737 Max collided with a ground vehicle while taking off from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thankfully, the flight crew stopped the airliner before the end of the runway at Galeão International Airport, and no one was injured. A Gol Linhas Aéreas Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft (PS-GPP) collided with an airport vehicle while accelerating for takeoff at Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport (GIG) in Rio on 11 February Night (Tuesday). The aircraft, registration PS-GPP, was destined to Fortaleza, but… — FL360aero (@fl360aero) February 12, 2025 One passenger onboard the Brazilian airline's flight recorded the aborted takeoff. The initial acceleration seemed normal until a loud thud was heard inside the cabin. Then, the thrust reversers were deployed to slow the plane's takeoff roll. According to Simply Flying, the flight crew told air traffic control that a car was in the middle of the runway. It was later confirmed that the vehicle belonged to the airport. Everyone onboard safely evacuated the damaged aircraft on the runway via airstairs, so it wasn't an urgent enough emergency to necessitate the inflatable slide. Gol operated an additional flight to the airplane's scheduled destination of Fortaleza Pinto Martins International Airport for the stranded passengers. The carrier noted that the incident didn't impact any of its other flights. A similar incident happened at Chicago O'Hare Airport last month. A United Airlines Boeing 737 Max hit a coyote while taking off on a flight to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. However, this plane lifted over the ground and flew for 40 minutes before returning to Chicago. The collision damaged the nose and landing gear. On-site engineers inspected the plane and cleared it to fly again just four hours a coyote can't discern how dangerous an airport runway can be, whoever was behind the wheel of the airport car should be smart enough not to drive in front of an accelerating airliner.
