Former aircraft types
Incidents
- On March 12, 1991, an Air Transport International Douglas DC-8-62H ( aircraft registration number N730PL ) had an accident while taking off at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The aircraft was destroyed, but none of the 5 people on board died. The cause was incorrectly calculated take-off and trim data by the flight engineer , who had assumed a weight that was 45 tons too low. Therefore, the plane could not take off.
- On February 15, 1992, all four people on board a Douglas DC-8-63F of Air Transport International (N794AL) died when the crew lost their spatial orientation during a go- around at Toledo Express Airport and the machine crashed 5 kilometers northwest of the airport.
- On February 16, 1995, a Douglas DC-8-63F of Air Transport International (N782AL) had an accident at Kansas City International Airport . An attempt was made to take off with only three engines running and all three crew members were killed. A loss of control of the aircraft due to insufficient experience of the crew with this type of take-off was found to be the cause. Contributory negligence was attributed to the airline, as it would have failed to deploy an adequately trained crew (see also Air Transport International flight 782 ) .
