Following an air crash in August 2024, the agency implemented a more rigorous inspection in Voepass operations.

In addition, Voepass filed a preparatory request for the purpose of restructuring its debts and renegotiating financial liabilities.

To date, Voepass has not spoken out about Anac’s decision.
