In Santana do Paraíso, a Beechcraft Super King Air 300 operated by the Minas Gerais Military Police (PMMG) crashed during a mandatory training flight. The crash killed three officers: Lieutenant Colonel Luis Fernando Silvestre, Lieutenant Gabriela Emília Soares Lacerda Resende, and Lieutenant Alice dos Santos Almeida. Governor Mateus Simões described the loss as a “significant blow to the state’s aviation command,” noting that Lieutenant Resende was the first woman in the PMMG to be qualified as a fixed-wing pilot. Earlier that same day in Belo Horizonte, an Embraer EMB-711ST belonging to Bello Fruit crashed in a maintenance yard of the Belo Horizonte Metro. The pilot, Daniel da Silva de Souza Salomão, died in the impact after the aircraft struck a warehouse and electrical wiring. The Aeronautical Accident Investigation and Prevention Center (Cenipa) and the Civil Police have launched investigations into the causes of both incidents. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Minas Gerais officials honor three military police officers killed in plane crash Minas Gerais Governor Mateus Simões and authorities honored three military police officers killed in a Beechcraft King Air 300 crash in Santana do Paraíso. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/minas-gerais-officials-honor-three-military-police-officers-killed-in-plane-crash ### 2026-10-09: Minas Gerais aviation accidents claim four lives in two separate crashes Two plane crashes in Minas Gerais on October 9 killed four people, including three PMMG officers in Santana do Paraíso and one pilot in a Belo Horizonte metro maintenance yard. 42 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/belo-horizonte-small-plane-crash-kills-pilot --- Cite as: Aviation accidents in Minas Gerais.
