Inex-Adria Aviopromet Flight 1308, a scheduled passenger flight operated by Inex-Adria Aviopromet using a McDonnell Douglas MD-80, crashed on December 1, 1981, while attempting to approach Ajaccio, Corsica. The flight was carrying 180 passengers and crew, all of whom tragically lost their lives. At the time of the accident, the aircraft was experiencing severe weather conditions, including heavy rain and strong winds, which contributed to the flight's loss of control shortly before landing. Witness reports indicated that the plane went down in mountainous terrain, further complicating rescue efforts.

The aircraft was on its way from Malta to Paris, making a scheduled stop in Ajaccio. Weather conditions in the region were known to be severe during this time of year, creating challenges for pilots navigating through such environments. The incident was investigated by aviation safety authorities, which led to increased scrutiny over flight operations in adverse weather and reinforced the necessity for airlines to adhere strictly to safety protocols.

The crash not only drew attention to the airline's operational procedures but also reignited discussions on weather forecasting and its role in aviation safety. Subsequent investigations aimed to ensure that measures were put in place to prevent such tragedies in the future, leading to broader changes in the European aviation industry.
