A China Eastern Airlines<\/strong> passenger plane with 132 people on board crashed Monday in the mountains of southern China while on a flight between Kunming and Guangzhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane is a 6-year-old 737-800, according to Flightradar24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We can confirm that the plane has crashed,” China Eastern Airlines said in a statement in which it also gave details of a hotline for relatives of those on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local media said there were no signs of survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane, with 123 passengers and nine crew on board, lost contact over the city of Wuzhou, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the airline said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CAAC said an emergency team had been dispatched to the crash site. Media reports quoted a rescue official as saying that the plane had completely disintegrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight left Kunming at 1:11 p.m. and had been due to land in Guangzhou at 3:05 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane, which Flightradar24 said was six years old, had been cruising at 29,100 feet at 0620 GMT. Two minutes and 15 seconds later data showed it had descended to 9,075 feet, and 20 seconds after that its last tracked altitude was 3,225 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
