From Wikipedia
On 2 November 1988, LOT Polish Airlines Flight 703, an Antonov An-24 operating a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Warsaw Okęcie Airport to Rzeszów Airport in Poland, crashed short of the runway after an attempted emergency landing following a dual engine failure. Of the 25 passengers and 4 crew members, 1 passenger was killed, while 12 people were injured. As of 2026, the accident remains the last crash involving the airline.
The investigation concluded that the flight crew's failure to activate the aircraft's de-icing system led to both engines failing. Following the accident, the airline accelerated the withdrawal of its fleet of An-24s and replaced them with the ATR 72.
