Air India Flight 101 was a scheduled Air India passenger flight from Bombay to London. On the morning of 24 January 1966 at 8:02 CET, the aircraft operating the flight accidentally flew into Mont Blanc in France. The accident was caused by a misunderstood verbal instruction from the radar controller to the pilot in lieu of VOR data, one of the receivers being out of service. The crash was almost at the exact spot where an Air India Lockheed 749 Constellation operating Air India Flight 245 on a charter flight, had crashed in 1950 with the loss of all 48 on board that aircraft including Homi J. Bhabha. The Pilot-In-Command was an 18-year veteran, Captain Joe T. D'Souza.
