Britannia Airways Flight 105 (BY 105) was an international tourist chartered flight from London Luton Airport for a flight to Ljubljana Brnik Airport (today Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport). Passengers were primarily British, most of them going to their vacation in Yugoslavia. The flight was operated by Bristol 175 Britannia 102 aircraft, registration code G-ANBB. The aircraft took off from Luton at 21:10 hours GMT on August 31, 1966, with 110 passengers and 7 crew on board. After an uneventful en route flight, radar contact was lost at 00:47 hours local time on September 1 (23:47 hours GMT on August 31) during the final approach to runway (RWY) 31. The aircraft struck trees[1] in the woods by the village of Nasovče,[2] 2.8 km south east of the RWY 31 threshold and 0.7 km north of the runway extended centreline (see Fig. 2), under Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC).[3] 98 of the 117 passengers and crew were killed in the accident.[1]

The reason cited for the accident in the official report was a wrong setting of the altimeter.[4]

This is the worst aircraft accident to ever occur in Slovenia.[1]
