The loss of contact with the airplane occurred on January 17 in the Maros district, where there were 11 people on board, including eight crew members. On Sunday morning, during the search operations, the first signs of the aircraft's location were detected: a patrol plane spotted white debris in hilly terrain near Mount Bulusaraung at 07:17 (02:17 Moscow time).

Subsequently, rescuers found large parts of the airplane on the northern slope of the mountain, as well as the fuselage, which was located around 08:09 (03:09 Moscow time).

The evacuation depends on weather conditions, as strong winds and fog are observed at the site, making it difficult for helicopters to find a suitable landing spot and deploy rescue teams.

The airplane was on a flight from Yogyakarta to Makassar. At the time of publication, there was no information on the number of casualties or survivors.
