EgyptAir Flight 741

Template:Infobox aircraft occurrence

EgyptAir Flight 741 was operating a route from Cairo International Airport to the now-closed Nicosia International Airport when it crashed on 29 January 1973, resulting in the loss of all 37 individuals on board.

During its final descent, the aircraft collided with terrain in the Kyrenia mountain range located in Cyprus, approaching the runway from the northern direction. The impact caused an explosion approximately 12 miles (19 km) away from Nicosia airport, igniting a fire that was subsequently extinguished by the Cypriot National Guard. The turboprop aircraft struck the mountain at an elevation of 783 metres (2,569 ft), which is 117 metres (384 ft) beneath the summit. The flight data recorder was sent to Moscow for analysis.
