Incidents

A brand new Embraer Legacy 600 was involved in a mid-air collision with Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907. All on board the Boeing 737 were killed, while everyone on the Legacy jet survived. This incident caused the 2006–2007 Brazilian aviation crisis that started on September 26, 2006: At the time it was Brazil's deadliest Aviation crash, surpassing VASP Flight 168 and surpassed by TAM Airlines Flight 3054 at Congonhas-São Paulo Airport on July 17, 2007. After investigation by the FAA and Brazilian authorities, it was found that air traffic control in Brazil had set the two aircraft on a collision course that ultimately led to the incident.
