TAROM Flight 35 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight, with an Antonov An-24 from Henri Coandă International Airport in Romania's capital Bucharest to Oradea International Airport in Oradea, Romania. The flight was operated by TAROM, the Flag carrier of Romania. On 4 February 1970, the Antonov An-24, registered as YR-AMT, crashed into a cliff near Vlădeasa Mountain while approaching Oradea International Airport.

Investigation of the crash revealed that the captain believed he was above Oradea and started descending under low visibility without contacting the air traffic tower, whilst he was actually over 70 kilometers away from the airport, crashing shortly afterwards.
