From Wikipedia
Si Fly Flight 3275 (KSV3275) was a non-scheduled international passenger flight from the Italian capital of Rome to Pristina, Kosovo. The flight was operated by Italian airliner Si Fly using an ATR 42-300 series. On 12 November 1999, the aircraft struck a mountain during the approach to Pristina, killing everyone on board. With 24 deaths, the accident remains as the deadliest aviation disaster in Kosovo's history.
The investigation attributed the causes of the crash to multiple factors. The crew was experiencing fatigue due to their high roster and failed to execute the appropriate approach procedure to Pristina. The on-duty ATC personnel accidentally forgot to track the flight during the approach phase and did not pay enough attention during radar vectoring. Due to these issues combined with the faulty GPWS warning system, which was caused by the company's decision to postpone the rectification of the device, the aircraft failed to fly clear of terrain and crashed onto the mountain.
