A Boeing 737-400F has been destroyed after it caught fire in flight and was forced to make an emergency landing in Sao Paulo. The aircraft, operated by all-cargo airline Total Linhas Aereas was operating a domestic cargo flight from Vitoria to Sao Paulo when the crew received a cargo fire warning, forcing the emergency landing. 

Flight number TTL5682 departed from Vitória–Eurico de Aguiar Salles International Airport (VIX) on November 8, 2024, for a routine cargo flight to Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport (GRU), a sector length of just 453 miles (725 km). The flight was being operated by a 30.6-year-old Boeing 737-400(SF) freighter registered as PS-TLB.
