Aerolinee Itavia Flight 870 was an Italian flight that suffered an in-flight explosion while in route from Bologna, Italy to Palermo, Italy. It was a regularly scheduled flight from Guglielmo Marconi Airport in Bologna,Italy to Palermo International Airport in Palermo, Italy. The flight departed 2 hours late at 8.08 pm CETJune 27, 1980. At the controls of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15 that evening were Captain Domenico Gatti and First Officer Enzo Fontana. The aircraft (registered I-TIGI), which left GuglielmoMarconi Airport bound for Palermo International Airport, crashed at 8.59 pm CET intothe Tyrrhenian Sea near the island of Ustica, Italy about80 miles (130km) southwest of Naples, Italy. All 81 people on board were killed (2 flight crew members, 2 flightattendants, and 77 passengers). Two Italian Air Force F-104s were scrambled at 9.00 pm CET from Grosseto Air Force Base to locate the accident area and to spot any survivors but they failed due to lack of visibility. In July 2006 the re-assembled fragments of the DC-9 aircraft were returned to Bologna from Pratica di Mare Air Force Base near Rome. June 23, 2008, Italy announced that they have reopened the case of Flight 870.
