ČSA Flight 540 was a regular international service from Prague to Tehran via Damascus and Baghdad. The flight, operated by Ilyushin Il-62 Brno Trade Fair, was on approach to runway 23R at Damascus International Airport on 20 August 1975, descending in clear weather, when it crashed {{convert|17|km|mi|abbr=on}} from the airport.[1] The aircraft broke up and caught fire on impact; 126 of the 128 passengers and crew on board died in the accident in Syria's worst ever air disaster,[2] also the worst air disaster for the airline.

The cause of the crash was determined to be the flight crew's failure to maintain the minimum flight altitude.[3]
