An Indonesian Lion Air passenger plane that went missing on Monday morning shortly after taking off from the capital Jakarta has crashed, said reports.

 

The plane had gone missing 13 minutes after take-off to the city of Pangkal Pinang off the island of Sumatra.

 

"It has been confirmed that it has crashed," Yusuf Latif, a spokesman for the agency, said by text message to Reuters when asked about the fate of the Lion Air plane.

 

It wasnโ€™t clear how many passengers and crew were on board of a Boeing Co. 737 Max-8 model that crashed in into the sea.

 

According to Flightradar24, the aircraft was delivered to Lion Air in August of this year. It is powered by two CFM LEAP-1B engines.
