Dan-Air Flight 1903 was a de Havilland Comet 4 aircraft operated by Dan Air Services Limited that, on Friday, 3 July 1970, crashed into the wooded slopes of the Serralada del Montseny near Arbúcies (Girona), Catalonia in northern Spain. The flight was on a non-scheduled international passenger service from Manchester to Barcelona. British tour operator Clarksons Holidays had contracted the aircraft to carry a group of holidaymakers who had booked an all-inclusive package holiday with it. The crash resulted in the aircraft's destruction and the deaths of all 112 on board. It was the deadliest aviation accident in 1970, and remains the worldwide deadliest involving a de Havilland Comet. The crash was Dan-Air's first fatal accident killing fare-paying passengers. News of the first major accident in the company's eighteenth year of existence〔("Barcelona Comet crash" ), ''Flight International'', 9 July 1970, p. 39〕 came just two days after British tour operator Global Holidays had awarded it a four-year, £2.5 million contract for all Global charter flights from Birmingham, starting in April 1971.〔''Airliner World (The Last of Dan-Air's Comets – Dan-Air and the Comet)'', Key Publishing, Stamford, UK, November 2010, p. 71〕〔''The Spirit of Dan-Air'', Simons, G.M., GMS Enterprises, Peterborough, 1993, p. 58〕 ==The aircraft== The aircraft, operated by Dan Air Services Ltd, was a de Havilland DH 106 Comet series 4 (registration: G-APDN, construction/manufacturer's serial number: 6415) that had its first flight in 1959.

At the time of the accident it had flown 25,786 hours.〔(ASN Aircraft accident description de Havilland DH-106 Comet 4 G-APDN — Sierra del Montseny, Spain )〕〔 Civil Aircraft Accident Report No: 1/1972 p. 3 〕
