Air Philippines Flight 541 was a scheduled domestic flight operated by Air Philippines from Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila to Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City, the Philippines. On April 19, 2000 the Boeing 737-2H4 crashed in Island Garden City of Samal, Davao del Norte while on approach to the airport, killing all 124 passengers and 7 crew members. It was the deadliest air disaster in the history of the Philippines.

Accident

The aircraft, a Boeing 737-2H4, registration RP-C3010, previously owned by Southwest Airlines as N50SW was first delivered in February 1978. On April 19, 2000, Air Philippines Flight 541, with 131 passengers and crew members, left Manila at 5:21 a.m., flying to Davao City, in South East Mindanao, about 600 miles southeast of Manila.

As it approached the airport at around 7 a.m., another aircraft was on the runway. Flight 541 began to circle in low clouds, waiting for the plane on the ground to move off the runway. As it circled, Flight 541 slammed into a coconut plantation, 500 feet above sea level. The plane caught fire and disintegrated, killing everyone on board.
