Indonesia said a search and rescue mission was underway on Saturday after air traffic control lost contact with a passenger plane just minutes after it took off from Jakarta.
There were 56 passengers and six crew members onboard the plane, which was not the 737 MAX model involved in two recent deadly crashes.
According to the FlightRadar24 tracker, Sriwijaya Air flight SJ182, said to be a Boeing 737-500, lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than one minute, approximately four minutes after it departed Soekarno–Hatta International Airport.
