Origin and destination of the flight

Trigana Air Service Flight 257 (IL257/TGN257) was a scheduled 45-minute passenger flight by Indonesian domestic airline Trigana Air Service from Sentani to Oksibil in the eastern Indonesian province of Papua. On 16 August 2015, the aircraft crashed about 30 minutes after takeoff,[3][4][5] killing all 49 passengers and five crew members.[6][7] The wreckage was found by villagers in the Bintang highlands region of Oksibil.[1]

With 54 deaths, it is the deadliest accident involving the ATR 42, surpassing the 2008 Santa Barbara Airlines crash in Venezuela (46 deaths). It is also the third deadliest in eight months in Indonesia, after AirAsia Flight 8501 and the Indonesian Air Force Lockheed C-130 Hercules crash. This is the airline's deadliest accident in its 25-year history.[2]

Accident

The Trigana Air Service flight took off from Sentani Airport in Jayapura at 14:22 WIT (UTC+9, 05:22 UTC) and was scheduled to land in Oksibil at about 15:16. Contact was lost with the aircraft at about 14:55.[8] There was no indication that a distress call was made by the crew. At the time of lost contact, the aircraft was at an altitude of 2,800 m (9,186 feet).[9][10]

The crew had been to make contact with ground staff at Oksibil Airport at around 15:00; attempts by those at the airport to contact the aircraft were unsuccessful. [11]

Search

At 15:30, the National Search and Rescue Agency (BASARNAS) deployed a search aircraft to find the missing ATR 42. The search was suspended because of foggy weather and was resumed, with an additional search team on foot augmenting the several search aircraft, on 17 August.[12][13][14] Local residents called Papua Police and reported that they saw the aircraft crash into the Tangok Mountain in the Okbape district of Pegunungan Bintang Municipality.[11] Stormy weather was cited as a possible cause of the crash.[15][16][17] However, it was later confirmed that the weather was good, refuting the theory that bad weather might have caused the crash.[18] Oksibil Airport is located in a mountainous area. Pilots flying this route must rely on visual flight rules to approach the airports. At the time of the incident, the aircraft was on the final leg of its scheduled route.[citation needed] Airborne searchers spotted the wreckage about 12 km (7 miles) from Oksibil.[19] The ATR 42 is suspected to have crashed at Camp 3 of the Okbape District.[20][21] All 54 passengers and crew died.[7]

Aircraft and operator

The 27-year-old ATR 42 turboprop aircraft was manufactured in 1988 and originally operated in the United States before being transferred to Trigana in 2005.[22]

Aircraft operated by Trigana Air have been involved in 14 serious accidents, 10 of which resulted in hull loss.[23] Most of the airlines under the supervision of Indonesian authorities, including Trigana Air, have been on the European Union blacklist of banned carriers since 2007.[24]

Passengers and crew

Trigana Air is yet to release the nationalities of the passengers and crews.[6]

Among the passengers were four postal servicemen heading to Oksibil to distribute the Indonesia Sejahtera card, a programme for the needy that President Joko Widodo developed and promoted while campaigning for the 2014 Indonesia Presidential Election.[25] They reportedly were carrying around 6.5 billion rupiah ($US470,000).[26]
