Two Indian students, Manoj Sivakumar and Srisaran Thirugnanasambantham, from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry respectively, lost their lives in a plane crash while receiving flight training in Canada, according to the Consulate General of India in Vancouver. The consulate expressed deep sorrow for the families of the deceased. The students were killed in an aircraft accident during a night cross-country flight from Regina to Steinbach in Manitoba via Carlyle, Saskatchewan.
The aircraft, a Cessna 172, was operated by Harv’s Air and was being used by two licensed pilots to accumulate flying hours towards their commercial pilot licences. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada was informed after the aircraft failed to arrive at its destination, and search and rescue teams later located the wreckage.
The crash is the third reported incident involving Harv’s Air since January 2025, raising concerns about the risks associated with flight training.
