Air Manila was a domestic airline in the Philippines. It was based out of Manila and operated propeller aircraft including the Fokker F-27 and Lockheed L-188 Electra. In the 1970s Air Manila obtained five second-hand Boeing 707s, with the goal of starting an international air service under the name of "Air Manila International". This move was opposed by Philippine Airlines (PAL), the national flag-carrier. Under government pressure, Air Manila and Filipinas Orient Airways were merged into PAL in 1973. The airline company was a promising venture, with major investors Francisco G. (Paco) Reyes and Ricardo (Carding) Silverio working together with veterans of the Philippine Air Force. The General Manager was Major-General Pedro Q. Molina, a retired former Commanding General of the Philippine Air Force and Vice Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The Vice President for Maintenance / Airline Operations was Colonel Aderito de Leon. The Public Relations Officer was Connie Angeles,host of "Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko". ==Accidents and incidents== On 4 June 1976, an Air Manila Lockheed L-188 Electra crashed after taking off from an airport in Guam, killing all 45 on board and one person on the ground.〔(Aviation Safety Network RP-C1061 accident synopsis ) retrieved 2010-05-28.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Manila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
