JAT Flight 367 and the Wrong Vesna

At 3:15 PM on January 26th, 1972, fight 367, a DC-9, took off from Copenhagen. About 45 minutes later, everything changed for the 28 passengers and crew.

Vesna Vulovik (Vez-nah Vah-low-vek) was in a place she wasn’t intended to be. But her employer got her mixed up with a different Vesna on the roster. She could have declined the assignment from JAT Airways, the Yugoslavian State airline, where she worked as a flight attendant. But, Vesna Vulovik decided to take the mistaken assignment, as she was excited to travel Denmark (a place she had not been before). And with a long layover before the return flight, there would be time to see the sights. Something the 23-year single girl could really enjoy.

On January 26th, 1972, Vesna Vulovik boarded flight 367 with her associates and prepared to fly home - - and missed her last chance to be somewhere else.
