MANILA (AFP): A Cessna 207 plane with four people on board was reported missing Friday while plying between two towns in the northern Philippines.

Owned by an air taxi company Chemtrad, the plane, with one pilot and three female passengers, was on its way from Tuguegarao to Palanan, Air Transportation Office (ATO) chief Rolando Luna said.

Aviation officials sounded an alert when the flight, which usually takes about 35 minutes, did not reach its destination after leaving Tuguegarao at 10.50 a.m. (0250 GMT).

The ATO has dispatched a rescue team to search the route of the plane.
