Fatal Events Since 1970 for Lufthansa/Condor
The following events are those involving at least one passenger death where the aircraft flight had a direct or indirect role. Excluded would be events where the only passengers killed were stowaways, hijackers, or saboteurs.
- 20 November 1974; Lufthansa 747-100; Nairobi, Kenya: The aircraft was not properly configured for takeoff and stalled shortly after becoming airborne, crashing about 3600 feet (1100 meters) beyond the end of the runway. The crash killed 55 of the 140 passengers and 4 of the 17 crew.
- 2 January 1988; Condor 737-200; Izmir, Turkey: The Condor flight (at the time, a subsidiary of Lufthansa), was on a non-scheduled international flight from Stuttgart, Germany when it crashed during approach to Adnan Airport in Izmir, Turkey. The aircraft struck high ground about 10.5 kilometers from the runway near Seferihisar, Turkey. The probable cause of the accident was the use of incorrect navigational aids during approach. All five crew members and 11 passengers were killed.
- 6 January 1993; Lufthansa Cityline Dash 8; Paris, France: The aircraft was on a scheduled international flight from Bremen, Germany to Paris, France. The flight was ordered to change runways due to a tire failure of a preceding Korean Air 747. The crew lost control and struck the ground while maneuvering to the alternate runway. All four crew members survived, but four of the 19 passengers were killed.
Other Bombardier Dash 8 Events - 14 September 1993; Lufthansa A320-200; Warsaw Airport, Poland: Aircraft landed with a tail wind. Landing performance and aircraft design led to a late deployment of braking devices. Aircraft overran the runway. One of the 6 crew and 1 of the 64 passengers were killed.
