Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 (SJ182/SJY182) was a scheduled domestic passenger flight operated by Sriwijaya Air from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, Jakarta to Supadio International Airport, Pontianak in Indonesia. On 9 January 2021 in the afternoon, the aircraft disappeared four minutes after departure. Officials confirmed that the aircraft crashed in the waters off the Thousand Islands, several kilometers from the origin airport. Search for the full aircraft is ongoing.

Aircraft

The aircraft involved was a Boeing 737-524, registered as PK-CLC (MSN 27323).[3] It was manufactured in 1994 at Renton, Washington, and delivered to Continental Airlines the same year on 31 May, under the registration number N27610. The aircraft then briefly merged into United Airlines' fleet under the same registration on 1 October 2010, before joining Sriwijaya Air's fleet on 15 May, 2012. It was the first of total fifteen 737-500 received by Sriwijaya Air in 2012 to replace their 737-200.[4] The aircraft is equipped with two CFMI CFM56-3B1 engines. Sriwijaya Air named the aircraft "Citra" (transl. Image).[1][5]

Flight details

The aircraft was scheduled to take off from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, at 13:25 WIB (06:25 UTC), and was scheduled to arrive at Supadio International Airport in Pontianak, West Kalimantan at 15:00 WIB (9:00 UTC). After pushing back from the airport's Terminal 2D,[6] the aircraft took off from Runway 25R at 14:14 local time.[7] This time, due to the significant delay, it was expected to land in Pontianak at 15:50 WIB (08:50 UTC).[6]

Flight 182 was climbing to 13,000 ft (4,000 m) when it abruptly swerved to the right and dived.[8] According to AirNav Radarbox flight data, the aircraft reported a rapid drop in altitude during the climb phase from 10,900 ft (3,300 m) to 7,650 ft (2,330 m) at 07:40 UTC.[1] FlightRadar24 reported that four minutes after takeoff, the aircraft dropped by 10,000 ft (3,000 m) in less than a minute.[9] Its last contact with air traffic control was at 14:40 local time (07:40 UTC). The aircraft reportedly nosedived over the Java Sea.[5] The aircraft is presumed to have crashed into the ocean 19 kilometres (12 mi; 10 nmi) from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport,[10] specifically near Laki Island.[11]

Passengers and crews

It was initially reported that the aircraft carried 56 passengers and six crew members, all Indonesian, including seven children and three infants.[1] According to a press conference jointly-held shortly after the crash by the Ministry of Transportation and National Search and Rescue Agency (BASARNAS), Flight 182 carried 50 passengers and 12 crew members.[2] This consisted of 46 adults, seven children, and three infants.[6] Its crew consisted of Captain Afwan and First Officer Diego M., as well as four flight attendants.[1][12] The manifest which was released to the public indicated that another 6 crew members, including a captain and a flight officer, were also onboard the aircraft.[13]

The cargo loaded in the aircraft was confirmed to be 500 kg (1,100 pounds).[14]

Search and rescue

Several eyewitness accounts were reported. A local fisherman reported that the aircraft crashed just 14 metres (46 ft) from his location. He stated that "a piece" of the aircraft was on fire prior to its impact with the sea.[15] Meanwhile, citizens of Thousand Islands, where the plane crashed nearby, heard two explosions. It was raining at the time in the area.[16] The first report of a plane crash in Thousand Islands was reported at 14:30 local time, in which a fisherman reported that a plane had crashed and exploded in the sea.[17] At around 16:00 local time, eyewitnesses coordinated with firefighters to search for the aircraft.[16] The regent of Thousand Islands, Junaedi, reported that something fell and exploded on Laki Island.[18]

Head of the Indonesian National Search and Rescue Agency, Bagus Puruhito, reported that the crash site was located 11 nautical miles (20 km) from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.[19] Personnel from a Transportation Ministry vessel reported that body parts, fragments of clothing, electronics and wreckage had been recovered from the sea in waters near Thousand Islands, with aviation fuel also reported around the location.[20][21] The waters near the likely crash site has a depth of around 15–16 metres (49–52 ft).[22]

Indonesian President Joko Widodo was immediately briefed on the accident. He ordered full coordination on the search and rescue operation and sent condolences to the relatives of the passengers and crew members.[23]

The Indonesian National Search and Rescue Agency (Indonesian: BASARNAS) immediately deployed personnel to the crash site[24] while the Indonesian National Police and the Ministry of Transportation set up crisis centers in Port of Tanjung Priok[25] and Soekarno–Hatta International Airport respectively.[26] The Indonesian Navy deployed a number of vessels for the SAR operations, in addition to helicopters and KOPASKA (frogman) personnel.[27]

The Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC) reported that it will send MV Baruna Jaya to assist in the search and rescue operation. The vessel previously had been involved in search and rescue operation of multiple aviation accidents, including Lion Air Flight 610 and Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501.[28]

BASARNAS reported that the pings of the aircraft's Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) had not been detected.[29] It added that the search and rescue operation will be continued overnight, with the main focus on pinpointing the exact location of the crash site.[30]

The Indonesian Navy deployed seven ships from the 1st Naval Regional Command to assist the search and rescue process.[31]

The Indonesian Red Cross deployed 50 volunteers and prepared at least 100 body bags for the victims of the accident.[32]

Investigation

The Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee was immediately notified on the accident, with assistance from BASARNAS. NTSC stated that, starting on 10 January, search and rescue personnel will start searching on the aircraft's flight recorders.[33]

Spokeswoman from the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation, Adita Irawati, reported that an abnormality was noted during the flight. The aircraft departed Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport with standard instrument departure. The aircraft had been allowed to fly at 29,000 ft. During its flight climb phase, Flight 182 immediately went off course to the northwest. ATC later asked the crew on the incident, however, few seconds later the aircraft dropped from the radar.[34][35]
