Cebu Pacific Flight 387

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On February 2, 1998, Cebu Pacific Flight 387, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 travelling from Manila Domestic Airport to Lumbia Airport in Cagayan de Oro City, crashed on the slopes of Mount Sumagaya in Misamis Oriental, killing all 104 people on board. The crash was one of the Philippines' worst air tragedies. Aviation investigators deemed the incident to be caused by pilot error when the plane made a non-regular stopover at Tacloban. Flight 387 was supposed to be a direct flight but due to the revised itinerary, the pilots were not familiar with the route.
