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.
