Four minutes
The plane was a Boeing 737-500 and belonged to the Indonesian low-cost airline Sriwijaya Air.
He had route number SJY 182 and lost contact with the airline’s owners shortly after taking off from Soekarno-Hatta airport in the Indonesian capital Jakarta on his way to Pontianak in Borneo in Indonesia.
It is a flight that normally takes approx. 90 minutes. Most of the trip passes by Lake Javasjøen.
According to Flightradar24, the plane lost more than 10,000 feet in less than a minute, roughly four minutes after taking off at 2:36 p.m. local time.

Adita Irawati, a spokesperson for the Indonesian Ministry of Transport, said the last contact with the plane was on Saturday at 2:40 p.m. local time.
There were 56 passengers and a crew of six on board the plane. Ten of the passengers were children, according to Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi. The 26-year-old plane had room for about 130 passengers.

Sriwaijaya’s chief of flights, Jefferson Irwin Jauwena, said the 26-year-old had made two flights that same day.
“According to the maintenance report, everything looked good and the plane was in flying condition,” Jauwena said.
He adds that the departure to the plane was delayed because of bad weather, and not because of a problem with the plane.
