Abstract

It has been 60 years since an Il-18 airliner of Tarom company was forced to land by emergency near the Cyprus village of Paphos. As the problems of refuelling Il-18 airliners continued in Bucharest after this very serious incident that took place on February 24, 1962, we set out to present some details about it and the decisions which have been taken by the Romanian authorities for preventing a new event. For this purpose, we had to use the completely unique photographs kept in an archive in Romania, some original documents wrote in Bucharest, in February and March 1963, by the chief of Legation of the United States of America and a report wrote by the Romanian Minister of Transport and Telecommunications.
