Indonesia finds bodies of 10 passengers on crashed surveillance plane

Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT), which probes transport accidents, is currently investigating the contents of the recently-found black box, its chief told local media this week.

It was Indonesia's first deadly crash involving the ATR 42, manufactured by Franco-Italian planemaker ATR, in more than a decade. In 2015, a Trigana Air Service ATR 42-300 crashed into a mountainside in Indonesia's Papua region, killing all 54 people on board.

A Boeing 737-500 jet operated by airline Sriwijaya Co crashed into the Java sea in 2021, killing 62 people.
