The passengers were scheduled to fly to Guarulhos International Airport, in Greater São Paulo, with the airline Arajet. However, the incident prevented the trip from taking place and left the group with no return date for more than a day.

A video sent by the group to g1 shows passengers gathered at the airport shouting "We want to travel" and clapping on Friday (13), amid a lack of information and accommodation assistance. At another point, a person kicks the service counter.

According to Roberto Policastro Pessoa, father of two of the passengers, a plane coming from Miami had a tire burst during landing. Due to the incident, airport operations were interrupted.

The group is made up of Roberto's two daughters, a granddaughter, his son-in-law, his son-in-law's mother and brother, as well as two other people, all from São Paulo. The trip was scheduled to last ten days and was organized for a family vacation and the celebration of Roberto's granddaughter's birthday.

Open Questions

  • What is the new scheduled date for the group's flight?
  • Will Arajet offer refunds or compensation to passengers?

Cable change caused suspension that canceled more than 16 thousand flights in the USA

More than 16,000 flights were canceled on Friday (13) and Saturday (14) in the United States after a failure in aviation communication systems, which led the FAA to suspend takeoffs nationwide for almost five hours. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said contractor L3Harris was working on replacing copper cables with fiber optics when the problem occurred and asked Congress for $50 billion to modernize the air traffic control system.

After air chaos in the USA, Brazilian AI engineers stranded in Ohio manage to fly and will return to Brazil on Monday

Five Brazilian artificial intelligence engineers were stranded in Cincinnati, in the United States, after the original flight was diverted due to bad weather and the national suspension of takeoffs determined by the FAA on Friday (13). They managed to board a flight to New York and plan to return to Brazil on Monday (16). US Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, attributed the stoppage to a failure to replace copper cables with optical fiber in the L3Harris infrastructure, ruling out a cyber attack and a relationship with the SMART artificial intelligence system.
