Isabela – A Cyclone aircraft, with tail number RP-C 1234, has reportedly gone missing after departing from Cauayan City Airport in Isabela on Thursday. The Cagayan Provincial Information Office, in a Facebook post, stated that the aircraft took off at 9:39 a.m. for Palanan Airport but lost communication, and the pilot could not be contacted.

The wreckage of this plane was later discovered in March in Divilacan town.
