A Voepass Linhas Aereas Avions de Transport Regional ATR-72-212A, registration PS-VPA performing flight 2Z-2211 from Rio Verde,GO to Sao Paulo Guarulhos,SP (Brazil) with 38 people on board, was climbing through FL170 out of Rio Verde when the crew decided to descend the aircraft normally to 9000 feet and entered a hold. The aircraft subsequently diverted to Uberlandia,MG (Brazil) for a safe landing on runway 04 about 45 minutes after stopping the climb.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Uberlandia about 8 hours after landing.
