Indonesian authorities are conducting a search for a missing aircraft carrying three government personnel and at least seven crew members. The contact with the fisheries surveillance aircraft, which was en route to Makassar, South Sulawesi, from Yogyakarta Province, was lost, according to Andi Sultan, operations chief at the Makassar search and rescue agency.

The ATR 42-500 aircraft, operated by Indonesia Air Transport, lost contact with air traffic control around 1:30 PM (0530 GMT) on Saturday, near the Maros region in South Sulawesi. The cause of the incident remains undetermined.

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Sakti Wahyu Trenggono confirmed that three ministry employees were onboard. Conflicting reports exist regarding the number of crew members; Sultan reported eight onboard, while the airline suggested seven.

The aircraft was chartered by Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. The search and rescue agency, with approximately 400 personnel including military and police units, is actively searching near Mount Bulusaraung's peak, despite challenges posed by adverse weather conditions.

Unverified data from Flightradar24 indicated that the aircraft was flying at approximately 11,000 feet (around 3,350 meters) over the Java Sea before losing altitude rapidly and disappearing from tracking systems. The ATR 42-500 is a regional turboprop aircraft, capable of carrying between 42 and 50 passengers.

Manufacturer ATR has acknowledged the incident, stating they are providing full support to Indonesian investigators and the operator.
