ReplyDeleteUn avion d'Air Asia avec 162 personnes à son bord a perdu le contact avec les autorités aériennes indonésiennes, ont annoncé dimanche matin les autorités locales et la compagnie aérienne malaisienne à bas coûts....
L'aéronef assurait la liaison entre Surabaya, d'où il a décollé à 05h20, et Singapour, où il devait aterrir à 08h30.
Un porte-parole du ministère des Transports a précisé que le contact a été perdu avec le vol QZ 8501 à 06h17 (00h17 en Belgique). L'A320 transportait sept membres d'équipage et 155 passagers dont 16 enfants et un nourrisson, a précisé le directeur général de l'aviation civile indonésienne, Djoko Murjatmodjo. Selon la télévision indonésienne, 149 Indonésiens se trouvent à bord, ainsi que trois Coréens, un Singapourien, un Britannique et un Malaisien. Les pilotes de l'avion avaient demandé à être déroutés peu avant la perte de contact. Selon un communiqué de la direction de l'aviation civile de Singapour, le contact a été perdu dans l'espace aérien indonésien, à "200 milles nautiques (environ 350 km) au sud-est de la frontière entre les régions d'information de vol de Jakarta et de Singapour". "Pour le moment nous n'avons malheureusement pas d'autre information sur la situation des passagers et des membres d'équipage à bord", a indiqué AirAsia. La compagnie aérienne a précisé que des opérations pour localiser l'avion étaient en cours. 2014 restera une année noire pour l'aviation malaisienne avec la perte de deux avions de la compagnie nationale Malaysia Airlines.

Indonesia sends plane, vessels to survey AirAsia's lost contact location ...
ReplyDeleteAn Indonesian senior official said on Sunday that vessels and plane have been sent to locations allegedly being the places where the AirAsia plane had lost contact with Indonesia's Air Traffic Control (ATC).
Speaking at a press conference held in Jakarta airport, Djoko Murjatmodjo, director general of air transport at the Transportation Ministry, said a plane from national calibration agency and several vessels from national search and rescue agency (Basarnas) have been deployed to undertake surveillance on the suspected locations.
Djoko said the commercial plane that departed from Indonesia's Surabaya city to Singapore was officially declared to have lost its contact with the ATC on 6:17 a.m. western Indonesian time (WIB) , or one hour after taking off from Surabaya.
"Our final assumption is that the plane has lost contact. The location of lost contact was estimated between Tanjung Pandan and Pontianak," Djoko said in the event televised nationwide, referring to the largest cities in Indonesia's territory near Singapore.
The surveillance would be conducted in waters between Tanjung Pandan in Bangka Belitung regency and Pontianak, West Kalimantan province.
Djoko said the AirAsia plane was boarded by 155 passengers, comprised of 138 adults, 16 children and 1 infant. With the plane crew included, total people onboard were 162 ones.
