Why does Brazil have repeated air crashes? After the 2016 Sharpe Koens air crash, industry insiders analyzed that despite the ups and downs of the Latin American economy in recent years, the civil aviation industry in the region has a sense of "dead wood in spring". However, this "rejuvenation" is largely supported by small and low-cost civil aviation companies such as low-cost airlines and charter companies. In order to control costs, these low-cost airlines generally focus on second-hand or leased passenger aircraft. These aircraft are in poor condition, and the control of low-cost airline manpower and equipment costs has led to a certain gap in technical support for aircraft compared with conventional large airlines. This undoubtedly increases the risk factor of civil aviation accidents.After the Chapecons crash, the outside world had hoped that it could wake up the Brazilian aviation industry, but at present, it does not seem to be.
