Overview

• Flight ET506 from São Paulo to Ezeiza declared a “minimum fuel” emergency during its approach to Buenos Aires.
• Flight-tracking data show the Boeing 777 descended to about 700 feet over La Matanza while transiting multiple Greater Buenos Aires localities.
• ANAC activated emergency protocols, deploying rescue and ground teams and halting Ezeiza operations for roughly 20 minutes between 20:55 and 21:15.
• The aircraft landed at 20:59 local after a 3 hours 29 minutes journey versus a planned 2 hours 32 minutes, with no injuries or damage reported.
• The same airframe later operated ET507 to Addis Ababa, and officials have yet to confirm a definitive explanation beyond the fuel declaration.
