On 8 November, a Total Cargo Boeing 737-400F (registered PS-TLB and operated by Total Linhas Aereas) operated domestic cargo flight OT5682 from Vitoria to Sao Paulo Guarulhos, Brazil. The aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing at Sao Paulo after a cargo fire indication.
Emergency services rushed to the aircraft while the crew escaped the aircraft using the emergency cockpit rope. In a video that appeared online, the fuselage is clearly burning.
A cargo fire destroyed the Total Linhas Aéreas Boeing 737-4Q8 (SF) aircraft (PS-TLB, Built 1994) at Sao Paulo after the emergency landing earlier today.
This aircraft had joined the fleet of Total Linhas Aéreas in June 2024, leased from Hamden Aviation.
