On February 24th, a passenger dressed as a Gol airline captain used the disguise to enter the cockpit of a flight from another Brazilian airline, Azul.
On February 24th, during a flight from Porto Alegre to São Paulo, a passenger disguised himself as a Gol airline captain to infiltrate the cockpit of an Azul flight.
The unidentified man was wearing a captain’s uniform from the Brazilian airline and a company lanyard, but without a badge. He attempted to convince the flight attendants to let him into the cockpit while the plane was in flight.
The passenger’s access was denied by the crew, both due to safety procedures and the passenger’s suspicious behavior.
Azul Airlines issued a statement praising the actions of its employees.
“The crew restricted access during the flight, strictly following safety regulations,” the company wrote, also informing Gol about the incident.
“The internal communication mentioned followed this protocol and aimed to alert and guide the team about an unusual situation,” said the second airline, reinforcing its commitment to the safety of its operations.
The case is still under investigation.
