NASLEĐE HERITAGE 1978.
JAT’S LEGENDARY GARGANTUAN When JAT bought its first wide-body Douglas DC 10-30 aircraft in 1978, which could at the time accommodate the unbelievable total of 380 passengers, curious people gathered for days at the Surčin Airport to see how this gargantuan aircraft took off and landed. It was a first-class sensation, and JAT became the only company from any socialist country to be able to boast of having such an aircraft. The first DC-10 was officially welcomed to Belgrade in December 1978, and was christened with the name of Nikola Tesla. Due to its capacity and range, DC-10 aircraft were used for intercontinental flights. According to the daily flight times of DC-10 planes, in 1990 it was the absolute record holder in Europe.
Legendarna JAT-ova grdosija Kad je JAT 1978. godine kupio prvi širokotrupni avion daglas DC 10-30 koji je mogao da primi za ono vreme neverovat- nih 380 putnika, na aerodromu u Surčinu danima su se sku- pljali znatiželjnici da vide kako sleće i poleće ta grdosija. Bila je to prvorazredna senzacija, a JAT je postao jedina kompa- nija iz neke socijalističke zemlje koja se mogla pohvaliti ta- kvim tipom aviona. Prvi DC-10 svečano je dočekan u Beogra- du u decembru 1978. godine i kršten je imenom Nikole Tesle. Zbog svog kapaciteta, kao i doleta avioni DC-10 korišćeni su za interkontinentalne letove. Po dnevnom naletu aviona tipa DC-10 JAT je 1990. godine bio apsolutni rekorder u Evropi.
