AirAsia flight QZ8501 from Indonesia to Singapore missing
Jump media player
BBC
Indonesian media say more than 160 people were on board the Airbus A320-200
An AirAsia flight travelling from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore has lost contact with air traffic control, the company has said.
Indonesian media say more than 160 people were on the Airbus A320-200.
Flight QZ8501 lost contact with air traffic control at 07:24 (23:24 GMT), Malaysia-based AirAsia tweeted.
Malaysia's national carrier Malaysia Airlines has suffered two disasters this year - flights MH370 and MH17 - but AirAsia has never lost a plane.
Flight MH370 disappeared on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March with 239 passengers and crew, and MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July, killing all 298 on board.
Search and rescue operations are under way for the missing aircraft.
The flight had been due to arrive in Singapore at 08:30 (00:30GMT).

There were six foreigners on board the flight, reports say, three from South Korea and one each from the UK Malaysia and Singapore. The rest of the passengers were Indonesian.
An official with the transport ministry, Hadi Mustofa, told local media the plane lost contact over the Java Sea, between the islands of Kalimantan and Java.
He said the plane had asked for an unusual route before it lost contact and that the weather had been cloudy.
AirAsia have given few other details.
"At the present time we unfortunately have no further information regarding the status of the passengers and crew members on board, but we will keep all parties informed as more information becomes available," a company statement said.
AirAsia has set up an emergency line for family or friends of those who may be on board. The number is +622 129 850 801.
The company's chief executive, Tony Fernandes, tweeted: "Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We must stay strong."

Major part of the route is over sea. It is reported bad weather and requested flight 'deviation'.

I am sure, the Commander who asked for the deviation (to ascend to 39,000 feet) must have given a valid reason as to why such a request being made and it will be on the tape.
Perhaps, he may have misread the onboard weather radar (the vertical depth of the bad weather brewing ahead of him then).
On the hindsight, turning back would have been a better choice.

I think there is a drama is going on to put Malaysia down by wealthy country. All three carriers are Malaysian and last two incidents has left many suspicious. MH370- no trace of its wreckage yet, MH17- before the wreckage touch the ground US claimed Russia was the reason even though the neighbors (people who saw the incident) claimed a fighter jet had flown and shoot the flight. Why MH-17 info was well captured while MH-370 remain mystery for a year? Who is hinding the real reason of MH-370?

My gut feeling say someone somewhere in the world should know what really has happened in relation to MH 370 and MH17.

What a tragedy, if it had happened not during one of the nap times ?

There had been few other aircrafts nearby when signal from the flight was lost, they probably may have some clue as to weather at that time and plight of the aircraft..කිත්සිරි ද සිල්වා wrote:I am sure, the Commander who asked for the deviation (to ascend to 39,000 feet) must have given a valid reason as to why such a request being made and it will be on the tape.
