As telling news.com.au,

A LION Air jet has crashed into the ocean after taking off from Indonesia’s capital of Jakarta.

The plane lost radio contact just 13 minutes into the flight which was headed to Pangkal Pinang, an island east of Sumatra. It was carrying 189 people — including two infants and its crew. The Indonesia-based airline is known for its poor safety record.

The aircraft disappeared near Karawang in West Java province, said Yusuf Latif, a spokesman for the National Search and Rescue Agency confirmed.

Lion Air flight JT610 requested to return to base, with air traffic control losing contact with the pilots after approving the request, Yohanes Sirait, a spokesman for the country’s air navigation authorities, told Reuters.

Piloting the aircraft was Captain Bhavye Suneja, assisted by co-pilot Harvino, who together had a combined total of 11,000 hours flying time, according to a statement by Lion Air.

They were assisted by flight attendants Mery Yulianda, Alviani Hidayatul Solikha, Damayanti Simarmata, Deny Maula, Citra Noivita Anggelia and Shintia Melina.

Three of the cabin crew members were in training, the statement said.
