于今早从印尼首都雅加达起飞的一架印尼狮航编号JT610客机,在起飞13分钟后失联,目前已证实坠毁离首都苏加诺-哈达国际机场(Soekarno-Hatta)24公里外的爪哇海上。

这架飞机载有189人,包括三名孩童(两名婴儿)、两名飞行员和无名机组人员。

印尼国家灾难管理局发言人苏托坡表示,搜救人员在西爪哇加拉旺(Karawang)海域找到疑似印尼狮航JT610失联客机的部分残骸。搜救队伍在该海域捞出人体断肢、以及乘客的私人物品。

该航班原本于早上6时20分从雅加达起飞,预计一小时后抵达印尼锡矿产地邦加槟港,不过却在起飞13分钟后失去联系。

狮航集团在文告中指出,失事客机型号为波音737 Max 8,今年在生产,并于8月15日投入服务。

目前,仍未发现生还者迹象。
