Philippines grounds company's aircraft after plane caught fire on takeoff, killing all eight on board including one Canadian

All of Lionair Inc.'s aircraft will remain grounded during the investigation of the burning of its Westwind 24 plane late Sunday, they said. The plane had been used earlier to transport medical supplies for the coronavirus outbreak.

The twin-engine aircraft was on a medical evacuation mission when it caught fire. The two passengers -- from the U.S. and Canada -- and six Filipino flight crew and medical personnel died when the Tokyo-bound plane burst into flames on the main runway, airport general manager Ed Monreal said.
