to West Germany. In the ensuing fracas, one of the pilots was shot dead. The aircraft did not have enough fuel to fly to Munich as the hijacker intended, so an off-airport landing in a field near Weiding was performed. The perpetrator as well as nine passengers fled the scene. In September 1981, a Slov-Air An-2 (registered OK-KIM) crashed near Znojmo following another hijacking attempt. On 25 August 1982, another Slov-Air An-2 (registered OK-JIK) crashed near Smedava. On 26 August 1985, a Slov-Air Mil Mi-2 Hoplite (registered OK-GIT) struck a hill in dense fog and crashed near Lubon Wielki in the Island Beskids Mountain Range in Poland. On 13 March 1992, a Slov-Air Let L-410 (registered OK-PDI) carrying nine passengers was damaged beyond repair in a crash landing at Žilina Airport.
