Information on JAT's DC-10 operations from taxiways.de:
JAT had a strong international network with destinations on every continent except South America. These routes were operated by Boeing 707s, but taken over by DC-10s which were inspected by President Tito himself. The first aircraft, YU-AMA, arrived in Belgrade on December 8th 1978 and was introduced on the New York service a few days later. A second aircraft from the same order joined the fleet in 1979 and several leases in the 1980s brought the fleet to seven aircraft which were all operated at the same time for while.
