A Piper PA-42-1000 Cheyenne 400 twin-turboprop crashed in Gramado in southern Brazil at about 9:15 a.m. on December 22, killing all on board and reportedly injuring 17 people on the ground. The aircraft, registration PR-NDN, departed Canela Airport (SSCN) and flew just under two miles before crashing. It was owned and piloted by Luiz Claudio Galeazzi, head of Galeazzi & Associados, a corporate restructuring and crisis management firm based in São Paulo.

Also onboard were Galeazzi’s wife, three children, Galeazzi & Associados director Bruno Cardoso Munhoz Guimarães, and other unnamed family members of Galeazzi. Several media reports indicate that 10 people were on board. Eduardo Leite, governor of the state of Rio Grande do Sul where Canela is located, said there were no survivors. Seventeen people on the ground were injured when the aircraft crashed into a furniture store. The accident is being investigated by Cenipa, Brazil’s accident investigation bureau.
