Jakarta, Aug 18 (IBNS) All 54 people on board a Trigana Air aircraft were killed in a crash two days ago in Indonesia's Papua province, media reports said on Tuesday.
The remains of all the  passengers have been recovered. 
 
The cause of the accident has not been given given so far as investigations are still on. However, it is being surmised that the aircraft hit a peak and then fell into a ravine. 
 
Inhospitable terrain of  forest-covered ridges hampered rescue operations in the site  where the ATR 42-300 plane fell down.
