About Flight QZ8501
The AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501 to Singapore that has been reported missing follows a similar pattern to Malaysia's national carrier Malaysia Airlines - Flight MH370 which disappeared without any trace earlier this year. The plane vanished from radars on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March with 239 passengers and crew. The wreckage, thought to be in southern Indian Ocean, has still not been located. MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July, killing all 298 on board.
Facebook Statement
AirAsia made a statement on Facebook confirming that there were 155 passengers and 7 crew members on board these include:
- 138 adults, 16 children and one infant
- Most on board were Indonesian
- Two pilots and five crew were also on board
What the Air Controllers have said
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. According to Air Asia, the plane's pilot had requested a "deviation" from the flight path to avoid thick storm clouds and had asked permission to climb to 38,000ft (11,000m). The request according to Indonesia Aviation Ministry "could not be approved at that time due to traffic, as there was a flight above, and five minutes later flight QZ8501 disappeared from radar".
Boats and aircraft have continuously searched the area as desperate relatives wait for news.
