Airplane crash movie with island?

I could swear I've watched another Airport-like movie in the 70's/80's where an airplane crashed in the ocean close to some island and most of the passengers could reach that island.
It's not one of the 4 Airport movies, but has a famous cast as well.
And it's not "Bermuda Triangle", I just checked it.
Thought it was with Jack Lemmon and some famous actress (Lee Remick?), but I couldn't find it in their filmographies.
I watched it at least twice, so I know it does exist, but I cannot find it on the imdb. It's very similar to the 4 Airport movies.

Could somebody help me, please?

Thanks!

I think you're talking about "Lost Flight" with Lloyd Bridges.

Thank you very much, Jetfire.
That's indeed the movie I was looking for.
I worry it's not out on DVD, because it's a TV movie and my last search resulted in no success.
But I will check ioffer dot com, maybe they offer it meanwhile.
