This sounds as if he ochestrated the plane crash, with "had" being used a a causative, as in "I had him sharpen my pencil."

Although the sentence may be considered correct for colloquial American English, there is no guarantee that it will be understood. I think the meaning here is: "He lost his parents in a plane accident."
