An Indonesian domestic flight carrying 54
passengers and crew has gone missing. The
plane, said to be about 27 years old, lost contact
with air traffic control in Papua province around
2.55pm local time
The Trigana Air Service flight carrying 44 adult
passengers, five children and five crew members,
left Sentani Airport at 2:22 p.m. and was
supposed to land at Oksibil airport at about 3:05
p.m but disappeared 10 minutes before it was
due to land. Indonesia Transport ministry said no
distress call was made from the plane.
Search and rescue have begun though it has
since been called off because of bad weather.
Search for the plane, believed to have crashed in
the steep mountains, will continue tomorrow.
Quite sad!
