The Tragic Story of Inex Adria Flight 1308
On December 1, 1981, the aviation world was shaken by the catastrophic crash of Inex Adria Airways Flight 1308, an event that would raise critical questions about communication protocols between pilots and air traffic controllers. As the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 descended into Ajaccio Airport on the French island of Corsica, a series of miscommunications would lead to the tragedy that claimed the lives of 180 individuals onboard. This flight, intended as a festive daytrip for a group of Slovenian tourists, began an ill-fated sequence of events that forever changed aviation safety standards.
