Aftermath

At the time of the accident, many flights were directed to Canoas Air Base because it had long, paved runways capable of accommodating large aircraft like the Constellation, but it operated only under visual conditions. In contrast, the São João airfield, located in Porto Alegre, had instruments to facilitate landings but did not have paved runways.
