Indonesian plane with 54 people onboard crashes in Papua

Indonesia, Aug 16 (ANI): The domestic passenger aircraft belonging to Trigana Air Service in Indonesia carrying 44 adults, five crew and five children and infants, crashed in the country’s eastern Papua region. Villagers in Indonesia’s remote and mountainous eastern Papua region reported that an aircraft had crashed, a Trigana Air official said on Sunday. The plane was flying between Jayapura’s Sentani airport and Oksibil, the capital of Papua province. Indonesia has a patchy aviation safety record and has seen two major plane crashes in the past year, including an AirAsia flight that went down in the Java Sea, killing all on board. Search efforts are underway.
