  LIA owner denies there was sabotage  By Teddy Molina The Philippine Star 11
LAOAG CITY – Laoag International Airlines (LIA) owner Paul Ng retracted yesterday his claim that sabotage was the cause of Monday’s crash of his Fokker-27 plane that resulted in the death of 19 passengers.
LIA is also the ground handler of a Chinese airline at the Laoag International Airport where it flies three times a week from Kaoshiung, Taiwan.
The airline management, Magsaysay said, was "equally liable under the alleged circumstances and this only pointed to gross negligence on the part of management, said Magsaysay, whose father, President Ramon Magsaysay, died when his plane "Pinatubo" crashed on Mt. Manunggal in Cebu in March 1957.

Amid charges of a collusion between Laoag International Airlines (LIA) and regulators, President Arroyo has formed a fact-finding committee to get to the bottom of the recent disaster to hit the air transport industry.
“If the plane was sabotaged as the management of LIA is claiming, then why, in the first place, did it not implement security measures prior to the flight?” asked Magsaysay, chairman of the Senate committee on national defense and security, whose father died in an air mishap.
He said investigators are focusing on the possibility that one of the plane’s engines failed, based on statements of the pilots who survived and an amateur video of the aircraft just before it crashed.

Laoag International Airlines, whose old-model Fokker-27 plane crashed in Manila Bay last Nov. 11, is now facing charges of smuggling after the Bureau of Customs (BOC) confirmed LIA’s reported plane-smuggling activity.
In an eight-page report submitted to Customs Commissioner Antonio Bernardo last week, LIA was reported by Customs inspectors to have paid less than the required tariff for a Fokker plane marked L-410410 through misdeclaration.
If it is proven that LIA smuggled its planes, charges of violating the Tariff and Customs Code can be filed against the airline.

Pilot error and the laxity of Laoag International Airlines were found to be the primary causes of the crash of LIA Flight 585s Fokker-27 into Manila Bay last Nov. 11, a source at the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) said yesterday.
The deadly combination of LIAs "management style" and the "compensation they give their workers" resulted in the companys laxity in implementing safety measures, a committee member said.
CAB, on the other hand, was found to have guaranteed LIAs air worthiness when it renewed its license to operate even if it had not settled the P310,000 penalty imposed by the board for failing to submit a monthly report of its sales.

But the riding public's fear for small planes - a backlash from the tragic crash of the Laoag International Airlines last November - is the least of its concerns.
These have often been referred to as missionary routes because the traffic volume is considered so thin that airlines would be forced to serve them only from the goodness of their hearts (a.k.a sticking to the order of the government).
The airline is currently undergoing training and preparation for the International Organization for Standards (ISO) - 9001:2000 compliance, the best credential any company could have to ensure its competitiveness and stability in the market place, according to Dornier.
