A small plane with four people on board crashed in central Philippines where rescuers were searching for survivors on Sunday, Feb. 19, an aviation official said. The Cessna 340 aircraft went missing early Saturday morning shortly after departing for Manila from Bicol International Airport, south of the capital, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said in a statement. A local search and rescue team has identified a possible crash site near the airport, CAAP spokesperson Eric Apolonio told AFP. Congressman Joey Salceda shared some photos of the possible parts of the missing Cessna plane in Camalig, Albay on Facebook on Sunday.
The aviation accident comes less than a month after another Cessna plane went missing on Jan. 24 in the northern province of Isabela. A search for that plane's wreckage is still ongoing, Apolonio said. In a separate incident, two Philippine airforce aviators were also killed in a training exercise last month when their SF260 Marchetti plane plummeted onto a rice paddy in Bataan province, near Manila.
