🇭🇺Helicopter incidents in Hungary

This database records 78 helicopter incidents in Hungary, the earliest in 1957 and the most recent in 2025. The worst single year was 2005, with 7 incidents.

62 deaths across 28 fatal accidents, which is 36% of all incidents recorded here. Every other accident in Hungary was survived by everyone on board. The deadliest was on 1994-10-22 at Orosháza, which killed 10.

The most frequently recorded type is the Kamov Ka-26 with 36 incidents, followed by the Mil Mi-2 with 14. That reflects how many of each type fly in Hungary rather than how safe they are.

Where a cause has been established, the most common is mechanical failure, in 17 accidents, then wire strikes in 8. Many records carry no established cause, either because the investigation is open or because none was published.
