AirAsia Flight To Singapore Missing!
An AirAsia Indonesia airliner flying from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board has gone missing.
Flight QZ8501 lost contact with air traffic
control at 06:24 local time (23:24 GMT
Saturday) over the Java Sea.
The plane, an Airbus A320-200, disappeared
midway into the flight of more than two hours
from the city of Surabaya. No distress call
was made.
Bad weather was reported in the area, and
an air search operation has now been
suspended for the night.
Planes from Indonesia and Singapore had
been scouring an area of sea between
Kalimantan (Borneo) and Java. Some boats
were reported to be continuing to search as
night fell.
No wreckage has been found, an Indonesian
official told the BBC.
AirAsia's Chief Executive Tony Fernandes,
who has flown to Surabaya, said: "We don't
want to speculate but right now of course the
plane has been missing for 12 hours and
there's a deep sense of depression here.
