CRASH


On 6 August 2005 a Tuninter ATR-72 (Tuninter is a daughter of TunisAir for short distance flights) crash-landed in the sea 18 miles off the Sicilian coast while on a charter flight from the Italian town of Bari to Djerba in Tunisia . The aircraft was carrying 39 passengers and crew, 16 of whom died. It would appear that engine trouble was the cause of the incident, although a full investigation has yet to be conducted. Officials at Bari airport reported that most of the passengers were young Italian tourists.
