The budget airline disclosed in a statement issued, according to CNN.

The airline explained that the Boeing 737-500 was on an estimated 90-minute flight from Jakarta to Pontianak, capital of West Kalimantan province on Indonesia’s Borneo Island.

It added that there were 56 passengers and six crew members on board. According to the report, Surachman, a local government official, said that some fishermen found what appeared to be the wreckage of an aircraft in waters, north of Jakarta, and a search is under way.

What you should know

  • Boeing 737-500 is a 27-year-old aircraft, according to registration details included in the tracking data.
  • Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago nation with more than 260 million people, has been plagued by transportation accidents on land, sea and air because of overcrowding on ferries, aging infrastructure, and poorly enforced safety standards.
  • For instance, a Boeing 737 MAX operated by the Indonesian airline Lion Air crashed off Jakarta in late 2018, killing all 189 passengers and crew.

    The statement that CAC can register a copy and issue a certificate within 24 hours is a complete falacy and utter balderdash! Nigerians cannot be taken for fools or morons! For instance, I applied for Registrar’s consent through CAC Enugu Office since 10 October, but uptil date, there has been no response from CAC! What kind of leadership is in CAC? We are aware that they employ the services of agents who facilitate registration for extra fee, but not everyone is disposed to corrupt tendencies. What do we do in the case above! Who do we call message to get quick response when officers of the Commission become a stumbling block?
