Indonesian transport ministry spokesman Adita Irawati reported that “A Sriwijaya (Air) plane from Jakarta to Pontianak (on Borneo island) with call sign SJY182 has lost contact shortly after take-off”.

He further explained that the plane made its last contact at 2:40 (0740 GMT).

It was unclear how many passengers and crew were aboard the Boeing 737-500, which has a capacity of about 130, when it took off from Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta international airport.

The usual flight time is about 90-minutes.

Indonesia’s search and rescue agency and the National Transportation Safety Commission are also investigating the incident, says Irawati

In October 2018, 189 people were killed when a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX jet slammed into the Java Sea about 12 minutes after take-off from Jakarta on a routine one-hour flight.

That crash and a subsequent fatal flight in Ethiopia saw Boeing hit with $2.5 billion in fines over claims it defrauded regulators overseeing the 737 MAX model, which was grounded worldwide following the two deadly crashes.
