Accident
On 30 October 1975, at 09:20 AM, Inex-Adria Aviopromet Flight 450, an international charter flight from Tivat, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, to Prague, Czechoslovakia, crashed in the Prague suburb of Suchdol. The aircraft was operating under Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) during the final approach to Prague Ruzyně Airport Runway 25.
Aircraft
The aircraft involved was a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32. It carried 115 passengers and 5 crew members, totaling 120 occupants on board.
Flight Path
During the approach, the aircraft descended below the defined Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA). It entered a gorge above the Vltava River and was unable to outclimb the rising terrain, resulting in the crash.
Casualties
Seventy-five of the 120 occupants died in the crash itself. Four additional occupants later died in the hospital. The accident remains the worst aviation disaster on the territory of today's Czech Republic.
