The pilots of the aircraft were arrested soon after the accident and held in custody for 24 hours, prompting the [[International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations]] (IFALPA) to criticize the Peruvian government for acting contrary to [[International Civil Aviation Organization]] guidelines, saying that the arrest and detention were "extremely detrimental to flight safety and can only hinder the investigation." IFALPA also said that the arrest could create the public impression that the accident was intentionally caused by the pilots rather than by "technical issues or a string of errors originating from multiple factors."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ifalpa.org/news/global-pilots-on-latam-airlines-flight-2213/|title=Global Pilots on LATAM Airlines Flight 2213|publisher=International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations|date=2022-11-20|access-date=2022-11-26|quote=The flight crew of LATAM 2213 were also placed under arrest and held in custody in Lima up until last night. The Federation considers this situation unacceptable. Holding individuals in custody who are already under intense psychological pressure due to an accident is extremely detrimental to flight safety and can only hinder the investigation... It may also lead the public to conclude that the accident resulted from the flight crew’s intentional acts, rather than technical issues or a string of errors originating from multiple factors.}}</ref>
