The missing flight number of Srivijaya Air was SJ 182. The Boeing 737-500 class plane flew from Sukarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta. It lost contact with Air Traffic Control (ATC) just four minutes after takeoff. At that time the aircraft was at an altitude of 10 thousand feet. According to the flight watchdog website FlightRadar24, it has received indications of the aircraft coming down suddenly.

Search ship and rescue team sent to the accident site

The place where the aircraft has lost contact with ATC is the sea, so search ships, helicopters and rescue teams have been sent to that place. According to reports, the aircraft was over 26 years old. It was purchased by Continental Airlines of the US in 1994. From there it was bought by Srivijaya Airlines.
