Boypass, a local Brazilian airline, is based on the inability to resolve operational concerns identified by the country's civil aviation regulator.
After a fatal ATR 72-500 crash near Sao Paulo last August, Voypass, supervised by regulator ANAC, was closely supervised by regulator ANAC.
ANAC has staffed on the company's operational and maintenance base to ensure that the carriers have achieved the appropriate level of safety.
Regulators then imposed measures on airlines, including reducing networks, increasing time for aircraft for maintenance, and changing management.
ANAC also called for the implementation of a corrective action plan to address “irregularity.”
However, when further testing was conducted in February, the regulator determined that there was a “systematic failure” by the company's management system to comply with ANAC requirements.
ANAC adds that concerns previously identified and considered to have been resurrected.
This has become a “trust violation” of the company's internal processes, given that Voepass's system has “losed its ability to respond to” identification and correction of operational risks.
ANAC says it ordered a temporary suspension of operations as of March 11 “until it is proven that airlines can guarantee the required level of safety.”
Voepass has six aircraft, and its network includes 15 destinations and a small number of charter services.
ANAC advises passengers affected by grounding and cancellation of Voepass flights to contact the carrier for a refund or re-booking.
Voepass has granted notices from ANAC, but it claims that the fleet is airworthy and can carry out flights “in accordance with strict safety standards requirements.”
“This decision will have an immense impact on the thousands of Brazilians who use local aviation every day and rely on their services,” Carrier said, adding that “every effort will be made to resume operations as soon as possible.”
All affected passengers will be dealt with in accordance with regulations regarding flight delays and cancellations, he added.
