On 20 July 1977, the Avia 14 operating this flight crashed into trees outside the airport shortly after takeoff.

At the time of departure the wind was from 120 degrees at 3 meters per second, it was raining and the runway had standing water on it.

225 meters from the start of the takeoff run the left main landing gear tires ran over a runway edge marking cone.

At the time of the accident, the aircraft had sustained a total of 20,464 flight hours and 20,467 takeoff and landing cycles.

A lack of caution by air traffic controllers in allowing the use of a wet runway with a tail wind and incomplete weather information were also determining factors in the crash.
