The plane had 62 people on board, according to an airline official, reported The New York Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a

Dorado.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four minutes after taking off in a heavy rain, the 26-year-old plane lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude, according to Flightradar24, the flight tracking service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indonesia&#8217;s National Search and Rescue Agency said it had found pieces of debris in the waters northwest of Jakarta that it believed might be from the plane&#8217;s wreckage, but said darkness had prevented its search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sriwijaya Air, which is Indonesia&#8217;s third largest airline and began operations in 2003, had never had a fatal accident before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aviation sector in Indonesia, a developing country with thousands of islands, has long been plagued by problems due to poor safety performance and the rapid growth of low-cost airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top
