Panair do Brasil Flight 099 was a flight operated by the Brazilian airline Panair do Brasil that crashed on July 28, 1950, killing all 51 people on board.[1]

At the time of the accident, many flights were directed to Canoas Air Base because it had long, paved runways capable of accommodating large aircraft like the Constellation, but it operated only under visual conditions. In contrast, the São João airfield, located in Porto Alegre, had instruments to facilitate landings but did not have paved runways.[2]
