Indonesian villagers have found the wreckage of a plane
that disappeared with 54 people on board in the province
of Papua.
Trigana flight IL267 failed to arrive in Oksibil from Sentani
as scheduled after contact was lost in poor weather 33
minutes after take-off.
The internal flight, which had 44 adults, five children and
five crew on board, would normally take 45 minutes.
"The latest information is that the Trigana aircraft that
lost contact has been found at Camp 3, Ok Bape district
in the Bintang Mountains regency," air transportation
director general Suprasetyo told reporters.
"Residents provided information that the aircraft crashed
into Tangok mountain."
It is not yet known whether anyone survived.
There is no indication the pilot made a distress call, a
government spokesman said.
The search was suspended due to nightfall, but 150 local
rescuers reportedly made their way to the scene.
The ATR-42 plane was built in France and Italy.
The Aviation Safety Network claims the plane is 27 years
old and Trigana has had 14 serious incidents since it
began operating in 1991, writing off 10 aircraft.
