Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

Accident at Medan, Sumatra
On September 5, 2005, the Boeing 737-230 aircraft (registration PK-RIM), operated by Mandala Airlines, was involved in a fatal accident at Medan, Sumatra (Indonesia), leaving 100 dead on board and 49 on the ground. Source: Mandala Airlines.
What happened
The 737 tried to take off from Medan with neither flaps nor slats extended and, unable to stay airborne, fell onto a street full of houses and cars a few hundred metres from the runway. 100 people on board died and 49 on the ground, among them the governor of North Sumatra, who was a passenger. It is the same configuration error as Detroit in 1987 and Madrid in 2008.
