All 62 people on board were killed. The crash was the deadliest aviation accident in Brazil since TAM Airlines Flight 3054 in July 2007. The Brazilian Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA) has launched an investigation into the crash. In the initial aftermath of the crash, aviation experts speculated that ice buildup could have been a factor. Both flight recorders have been recovered and sent to CENIPA.
