- Date: February 16, 1967
- Aircraft: Lockheed L-188 Electra
- Location: Manado-Sam Ratulangi North Sulawesi, Indonesia
- Fatalities: 22
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The investigation found an awkward landing technique that gave an excessive rate of sink on touchdown. Uneven pavement and marginal weather were contributing factors.
Garuda Flight 708, a scheduled domestic service from Jakarta to Manado with stops at Surabaya and Makassar, landed heavily short of the runway at Manado in bad weather. The undercarriage collapsed, the aircraft caught fire and came to rest on the runway, and 22 people were killed.
