On the morning of Thursday (20), a bird collided with a Latam plane at Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The accident sparked anger from the airline’s CEO.
The incident occurred during the takeoff of the flight, which had to be canceled after the collision. The aircraft’s nose was severely damaged.
Jerome Cadier, CEO of Latam Brazil, commented on his LinkedIn profile that the company would have to bear the costs of a potential lawsuit due to the flight delay.
“I can bet the first lawsuit against the airline, asking for compensation for moral damages due to the cancellation of this flight, will arrive tomorrow. And so goes Brazilian aviation. Who’s paying the bill?” he complained.
Other profiles criticized Jerome’s stance on the social network. “The customers, in the end, it’s them who pay,” responded one user.
“This is called business activity risk. And in the end, you always find a way to transfer the costs to the Brazilian consumer,” commented a lawyer’s profile.
