JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A passenger plane lost contact with flight controllers Monday as it flew between Indonesia's Java and Sulawesi islands, officials said.
Aviation authorities are unable to contact Adam Air flight KI-574, Gunawan Suherman, Adam Air's chief executive, told The Associated Press.
The missing plane is a Boeing 737-400, carrying six crew and 96 passengers, including 11 children, Indonesia's El-Shinta radio reported.
"We can't say what happened yet, we are still coordinating," Suherman said.
Indonesian Transport Minister Hatta Radjasa confirmed the plane had lost contact, but offered no further details.
