The National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) received a report on Monday morning that air traffic control had lost contact with a Lion Air flight from Jakarta to Pangkalpinang in Bangka Belitung.
A vessel traffic service officer in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, Suyadi, told The Jakarta Post that at 6:45 a.m. he received a report from a tugboat, AS Jaya II, that the crew had seen a downed plane, suspected to be a Lion Air plane, in Tanjung Bungin in Karawang, West Java.
The directorate general is coordinating with relevant authorities to conduct search and rescue operations, she said.
"The directorate general is coordinating with National Search and Rescue Agency, Lion Air as the operator, the Sea Transportation Directorate General and the Indonesian Flight Navigation Service Institution (LPPNPI) in search and rescue activities for the JT 610 plane," Sindu Rahayu of the Air Transportation Directorate General said in a statement on Monday morning.
A vessel traffic service officer at Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta, Suyadi, told The Jakarta Post that a tugboat crew reported to him that they saw the debris of the plane 7 nautical miles (12.96 kilometers) north of Tanjung Bungin, Karawang, West Java.
The flight was operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 registration PK-LQP. The aircraft was delivered to Lion Air in August of this year. It is powered by two CFM LEAP-1B engines. https://t.co/Jv0z8vytv3 #JT610 pic.twitter.com/yCkR2PbMUa — Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) October 29, 2018
Flightradar24, a Swedish internet-based service that shows real-time commercial aircraft flight information on a map, tweeted on Monday morning Jakarta time that the plane was "brand new" and Lion Air received it only in August this year.
The plane was scheduled to land at Depati Amir Airport in Pangkalpinang at 7:10 a.m. Jakarta time.

Lion Air is really suay to the max this year.......
Jialat........ Lion Air plane aborts take-off after hitting pole
Jakarta: A Lion Air plane carrying 145 passengers was forced to abort its take-off from Indonesia’s Bengkulu city after its left wing crashed into a pole.
Flight JT633 was due to depart Fatmawati airport in southwestern Sumatra for Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 6.20pm on Wednesday.
The plane was forced to return to the departure terminal and passengers were placed on another aircraft which left for Jakarta at about 10.10pm, according to CNN Indonesia.
Facebook user Irsan Hidayat shared photos of the incident, showing a fragment dislodged from the wing of the aircraft. Several people were seen on the tarmac with their belongings.
Indonesia’s Ministry of Transport said yesterday that it would be investigating the cause of the incident and taking follow-up measures.

Black box technology is fucking outdated. All diagnostic recordings can be saved on cloud and accessed by investigators in case shit hits the fan. Rescuers therefore won't need to play finding the needle in a haystack.
Read somewhere that the voice recorder only has a battery life of 30 days upon experiencing a crash.......Indonesian authorities had better haul ass to hone in on its signal before it dies out forever.
Lion Air crash: 'Black box' from crashed jet retrieved
A "black box" recorder from Lion Air flight JT 610 has been found by divers off the coast of Indonesia.
The plane, carrying 189 people, crashed soon after taking off from Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, on Monday.
It plummeted into the Java Sea - no survivors have been found, nor has the body of the Boeing 737.
There is as yet no indication of what caused the crash but the aircraft is believed to have experienced technical problems on its previous flight.
The plane was making a one-hour journey to the western city of Pangkal Pinang when it went down.
The pilot had asked air traffic control for permission to turn back to the airport but then contact was lost.
Which recorder was found?
Initial reports said the plane's flight data recorder had been found but a transport safety official quoted by Reuters news agency said later it was unclear whether the damaged device was the flight data unit or the cockpit voice recorder.
"Tonight we will move as quickly as possible to download what is in this black box," Haryo Satmiko, deputy chief of Indonesia's transportation safety committee, told journalists.
It could take up to six months to analyse data from the black boxes, officials from Indonesia's transportation safety committee have said.
Mr Satmiko pointed to the device's poor condition as evidence of the "extraordinary impact" of the crash.
A diver identified as Hendra said the box had been buried in debris on the floor of the Java Sea.
Another official, Muhammad Syaugi, said part of the plane's landing gear had been found, AFP news agency reports.
"We have found bigger parts of the plane than we have seen in previous days," he added.

Air Lion can probably rename itself as Sea Lion liao.
Lion Air plane crash: Possible location of fuselage located, officials say
A team searching for Indonesia's Lion Air Flight JT610 heard a "pinging sound" late Tuesday, possibly indicating they may have the seabed location of the doomed airliner's fuselage off Jakarta's coast. The Boeing 737 Max 8 jet, a plane put into service two months ago, plunged into the Java Sea moments after takeoff early Monday.
There were 189 people on board and they are all presumed dead.
Indonesia's military chief has said he believes the Flight JT610 has been found.
"Based on the presentation of the head of the National Search and Rescue Agency, the coordinates of the suspected body of the aircraft have been found," Hadi Tjahjanto told an Indonesian TV station. "We will send a team there to confirm," he added.
"Pinger locators" are being used to try to locate the so-called "black boxes" containing the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, according to the Reuters news agency.
"Yesterday afternoon, the team had heard a ping sound in a location at 35 meters depth," Haryo Satmiko, the deputy chief of the national transport safety panel, told Reuters, referring to a depth of 115 feet.
Recovery crews in Indonesia have been finding bodies and debris over the last couple days. Lion Air's president admitted the aircraft, delivered in August, had a "technical issue" in its previous flight Sunday but insisted the problem was fixed.
Late Tuesday, news of 13 more body bags have been sent for DNA analysis, bringing the total to 37 so far.
Indonesian transportation officials are looking into imposing sanctions on Lion Air operations following the fatal crash. This is the first crash involving the Boeing 737 Max 8, one of the company's most advanced jets. Boeing said experts are expected to arrive in Indonesia on Wednesday as an "intense" internal investigation by Lion Air is underway.
Flight-tracking websites had documented the plane's erratic speed and altitude in the early stages of a flight earlier Sunday and the fatal last flight Monday. The Associated Press reports safety experts are exercising caution before coming to a conclusion to what caused the flight to crash.
Preliminary data will be checked for accuracy against the plane's "black boxes," which officials are confident will be recovered, AP added.
Indonesia's troubled aviation history
The crash is the worst airline disaster in Indonesia since an AirAsia flight from Surabaya to Singapore plunged into the sea in December 2014, killing all 162 on board.
Indonesian airlines were barred in 2007 were flying to Europe because of safety concerns, though several were allowed to resume services in the following decade. The ban was completely lifted in June this year. The U.S. lifted a decade long ban in 2016.

An Indonesian man who was supposed to board the ill-fated Lion Air plane that plunged into the sea with 189 people on board missed his flight because he was stuck in Jakarta's notorious traffic.
Sony Setiawan, an official in Indonesia's finance ministry, was planning to catch Flight JT610 from the capital to Depati Amir airport in Pangkal Pinang — an hour-long trip he and his colleagues made on a weekly basis.
However on Monday he was held up on a toll road for hours and arrived at Soekarno-Hatta airport at 6:20am (local time) — just as the doomed aircraft took off.
The flight lost contact with air traffic control 13 minutes into the trip, with witnesses reporting seeing it nosedive into the Java Sea.
"Every week I go to Bandung [West Java] to visit my family there, and every Monday I take that early flight JT610 from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang with my colleagues," Mr Setiawan told local media.
"I don't know why, but this time, there was massive traffic on the toll road to the airport. "Normally, I arrive at Jakarta [airport] at around 3:00am, but this morning I arrived at 6:20am."

Lion Air JT610 crash: What we know so far
A Lion Air plane heading to Depati Amir Airport in Pangkalpinang, Bangka Belitung Islands, from Jakarta crashed into the Java Sea on Monday morning. Flight JT610 was carrying 189 people, comprising 181 passengers, two pilots and six crew members.
The air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane at 6:33 a.m., shortly after it took off at 6:20 a.m. from the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten.
A vessel traffic service officer in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, Suyadi, told The Jakarta Post that at 6:45 a.m., he received a report from tugboat AS Jaya II that its crew had seen a plane — suspected to be a Lion Air aircraft — go down in Tanjung Bungin in Karawang, West Java.
A video that has gone viral on social media shows the site where the plane is suspected to have gone down. Debris is seen floating on the surface of the water as five tugboats help scour the area. The authenticity of the video has been confirmed by state-owned energy holding company Pertamina, which operates an oil rig near the site, located north of Bekasi, West Java.
A video showing the site where #Lion Air flight #JT610 from Jakarta to Pangkalpinang is suspected to have gone down on Monday morning. Debris is seen floating on the surface while five tugboats help scour the area. The video was shared by BNPB spokesman Sutopo PN, among others. The authenticity of the video has been confirmed by state-owned energy holding company Pertamina, which has an oil rig near the site north of Bekasi, West Java.
Authorities later announced that the plane had crashed into the sea 7 nautical miles (12.96 kilometers) north off the coast of Tanjung Bungin.
"We are certain that the plane crashed into the sea and is submerged at a depth of 30 to 35 meters," National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) head M. Syaugi told a press conference on Monday.
"We have located the debris about 2 nautical miles [3.7 kilometers] south of where [air traffic controllers] lost contact with the plane.”
Cause of the accident
Flightradar24, a Swedish internet-based service that shows real-time commercial aircraft flight information on a map, tweeted on Monday morning at Jakarta time that the plane was "brand new" and Lion Air received it only in August this year.
Lion Air was founded by businessman-turned-politician Rusdi Kirana, who is now the Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia. In 2015, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo appointed him as a member of the Presidential Advisory Board.
National Transportation Safety Commission (KNKT) head Soerjanto Tjahjono said the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft commenced operations under Lion Air in August and had 800 flight hours, which was considered normal.
Soerjanto added that a Basarnas team was searching for the plane’s black box to determine the cause of the crash.
Lion Air chief executive officer Edward Sirait told reporters that the same aircraft had experienced a “technical issue” the night before.
"This plane previously flew from Denpasar to Cengkareng [Soekarno-Hatta airport]. There was a report of a technical issue that had been resolved according to procedure," Edward said, declining to specify the nature of the technical issue.
Search and rescue (SAR) operation
Syaugi said 130 Basarnas personnel had been deployed from Jakarta and several other areas, including Bandung and Cirebon in West Java. Thirty Basarnas Special Group (BSG) personnel have also been deployed to where the plane’s debris was found.
The deputy of the Basarnas operation, Nugroho Budi Wiryanto, said that as of 12.30 p.m., his team had yet to discover any bodies from the crash.
Images released later, however, showed SAR personnel moving black body bags from the main search location.
Basarnas later said it had deployed 150 personnel, while the Indonesian Military (TNI) and the National Police had deployed 150.
The 300-man joint SAR team was also assisted by fishermen at sea, he added, and Basarnas would send more people to speed up the operation.
SAR efforts have so far recovered various documents from the search site, including ID cards, passports and driver's licenses. The main body of the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft has yet to be located, but parts of the plane have been found, Nugroho said.
Compensation
State-owned insurance company Jasa Raharja has assured that all passengers aboard Lion Air flight JT610 or their next of kin would be compensated in accordance with prevailing laws and a 2017 Finance Ministry regulation.
"Jasa Raharja is ready to provide Rp 50 million [US$3,284] in compensation for those who died in the incident and cover up to Rp 25 million in hospital costs for injured victims," Budi Rahardjo, the company's director, said in a statement.
Government officials aboard
Government officials are reportedly among the passengers aboard the downed aircraft.
Finance Ministry spokesperson Nufransa Wira Sakti confirmed that 20 ministry officials were among the 178 adult passengers on the flight.
Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said they had been returning to their office in Pangkalpinang after either spending time with their families in Jakarta or attending the 72nd anniversary of Currency Day over the weekend.
One Environment and Forestry Ministry official and four from the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry were also on the flight, while reports have said that officials from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) and the Bangka Belitung Legislative Council may also have been on board.
