Jakarta, Jan 9, 2021 (AFP/Xinhua/Reuters): An Indonesian Sriwijaya Air plane is feared to have crashed into the sea after the Boeing 737 lost contact with air traffic control in the capital Jakarta, with flight tracking data showing the jet plunged into a steep dive just four minutes after take-off.
It was unclear how many passengers and crew but it is learnt that more than 50 passengers were aboard the Boeing 737-500, which has a capacity of about 130, when it left Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta international airport Saturday afternoon.
