Linjeflyg Flight 618

All twenty-two people on board the aircraft perished when it hit ground at Kälvesta in Stockholm, Sweden.

Because of delays of the delivery of their new Fokker F28 Fellowship aircraft, Linjeflyg started in 1975 to wet lease flights from Skyline.

At this time there were nineteen passengers and a crew of three on board,[1] including the well-known table tennis player Hans Alsér.

[3] During flight the number two and three engines were run at reduced power for a prolonged period, causing the ice protection system temperature to sink below minimum thresholds.

The aircraft entered a steep dive and crashed at a parking lot in Kälvesta, a neighborhood of Stockholm.

As a result, ice built up on the tailplane, which disrupted the airflow, causing the loss of pitch control when the flaps were being fully extended on final approach.One issue after the accident was the relationship between Linjeflyg and Skyline.
