The 2000 Skerjafjörður plane crash happened on 7 August 2000 when a Cessna T210L Centurion II aircraft, TF-GTI, operated by Leiguflug Ísleifs Ottesen with six people on board crashed into the sea in Skerjafjörður, just outside Reykjavík, Iceland.

The aircraft had reached an altitude of about 500 feet when the engine lost power and stalled.

The plane rested on its left side, with the right wing sticking out of the sea.

A nearby barge, owned by a diving company, arrived at the scene few minutes after the crash and within 30 minutes of the accident, divers recovered five of the six occupants from the wreckage and brought to shore.

[3][1] The crash led to several rule changes regarding aviation safety in Iceland, including reducing the number of landings in Vestmannaeyjar per 30 minutes to eight to limit the number of aircraft in the airspace at any given time.
