The Adam Air plane is a Boeing 737-400 with 96 passengers and six crew members on board. Adam Air said it was investigating what had happened to Flight KI-574. The plane left Surabaya in Java at 1300 local time (0600 GMT) on a two-hour flight to Manado in northern Sulawesi, a transport ministry official said. Contact was lost at 35,000ft, when the plane was a hour away from its destination, Ichsan Tatang added. An air traffic controller told local TV the aircraft had hit " very bad " weather and would have run out of fuel if it had not already landed. Adam Air, a privately owned airline based in Jakarta, began operations in 2003. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6222629.stm Dasha: Mo/Sa/Ke/Ke/Ve -- Version: 7.5.432 / Virus Database: 268.16.1/611 - Release 31-12-2006 12:47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
