A domestic JAT Yugoslav Airlines flight, carried out by a Sud Aviation SE-210 Caravelle VI-N (Registration: YU-AHD), was nearing its end completing a scheduled domestic Flight JU 769 from Skopje, SR Macedonia to Titograd (modern-day Podgorica), SR Montenegro when it crashed into Mount Maganik, in central Montenegro, killing all 41 passengers and crew. The aircraft was written off.

The flight, a scheduled domestic Flight JU 769 from Skopje to Titograd, was nearing its end. Allegedly, the flight was instructed to start descent, although the aircraft was not visible on radar (which were allegedly not working well at the time) nor could the control tower staff make visual contact with the aircraft. At the time of the flight, there were no qualified staff at the control tower in Titograd. The flight was asked to descend to a flight level of 6,000 feet (1,800 m) or a height it saw fit. The aircraft crashed into the peak of Medvjeđi vrh (2140 m, 7021 ft) on Maganik mountain near Kolašin. All 41 people on board died in the accident.
