Manila,Philippines : After experiencing a boom 5 years ago, the Philippine flight school industry is struggling to survive, and the fact that a student pilot was on board the recent Masbate crash has not helped.

Nepali citizen Kshitiz Chand was inside the cockpit of the Piper Seneca aircraft owned by the Aviatour charter company and flight school that plunged into sea. The aircraft was supposed to take the late DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo to Naga City from Cebu. 

Captain Gomez, 80, was a Philippine Airlines pilot for over 40 years before he set up Omni Aviation in 1993.
