Overview

• The incident occurred Saturday morning in the countryside of Alagoa Grande, in the Brejo region.
• On board were Mayor Cícero Lucena, aides Kauê Braga and Dudu Lins, and the pilot, and no one was hurt.
• Lucena said the engine lost power about 10 to 15 minutes from João Pessoa and attempts to regain power failed.
• The aircraft touched down in a cut-grass area that helped decelerate, and the group traveled by tractor to reach a road before meeting a car back to the capital.
• ANAC records list the aircraft as PT-NON, registered for private use and airworthy, and the flight was chartered during the mayor’s interior agenda linked to his 2026 gubernatorial pre-candidacy.
