The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) clarified that reports of an aircraft crash in Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, were a false alarm after confirming that the aircraft had landed safely in Butuan City.

In an advisory, CAAP said the aircraft, initially reported to have crashed in Sitio Boribad, Barangay Tibolo, Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur, actually landed at Butuan Airport at 12:13 p.m.

CAAP Airport Manager III of Davao International Airport, Engr. Rex A. Obcena, said the agency verified the aircraft's status through coordination with Butuan Airport authorities.

Obcena explained that CAAP initiated verification procedures after receiving a report from the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) regarding a possible aircraft accident.

He clarified that the alleged incident occurred outside the jurisdiction of CAAP-Davao International Airport and advised the public to seek further clarification from OCD Region 11.

The aircraft was identified as bearing registration number N882TP.
