Flight 2283 was carrying 58 passengers and four crew members at the time of the crash, the airline said in a statement, as reported by CNN.

"There is still no confirmation of how the accident occurred or the current situation of the people on board," the statement read.

The Brazilian airline confirmed that a plane carrying 62 people crashed in Vinhedo, near the city of Sao Paulo, Al Jazeera reported.

In a statement on Friday, the airline said it had no information about the fate of those on board, but Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said it appears that all passengers are presumed to be dead, without offering further details, as reported by Al Jazeera.

"Very sad news," he said in a social media post. "All my solidarity to the families and friends of the victims," Al Jazeera reported.

Videos of the crash circulating on social media show the plane spiraling out of the sky and crashing to the ground.
