The aircraft landed safely back on Recife's runway 18 about 35 minutes later.

A passenger reported the flight was delayed considerably, they had boarded the flight, then deboarded again before finally boarding again. Then in flight the captain told them, they had a technical failure and needed to return to Recife.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 18.5 hours, then positioned to Congonhas Airport.
