Linjeflyg Flight 618 was a crash of a
Vickers 838 Viscount during approach to
Stockholm Bromma Airport at 09:05 on 15 January 1977. All twenty-two people on board the aircraft perished when it hit ground at
Kälvesta in Stockholm, Sweden. The domestic service from
Malmö via
Kristianstad,
Växjö and
Jönköping was operated by
Skyline on behalf of
Linjeflyg as part of the latter's domestic scheduled services. The accident was caused by
atmospheric icing on the horizontal stabilizer. Low power on two of the engines had caused reduced function of the
ice protection system, causing a buildup of ice. The icing caused the loss of pitch control and the aircraft entered a steep dive. Among the deceased was table tennis player
Hans Alsér.
