Jakarta, Oct 29 (IBNS):  A Lion Air passenger plane went missing after taking off from Indonesia's Jakarta city on Monday, media reports said.

Flight JT-610 was on a scheduled flight from the Indonesian capital to Pangkal Pinang, the main city in the Bangka Belitung Islands, reported BBC.

A vessel traffic service officer in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, Suyadi, told The Jakarta Post that at 6:45 a.m. he received a report from a tugboat, AS Jaya II, that the crew had seen a downed plane, suspected to be a Lion Air plane, in Tanjung Bungin in Karawang, West Java.

"At 7:15 a.m. the tugboat reported it had approached the site and the crew saw the debris of a plane," Suyadi told the newspaper.

The exact number of people who were traveling on the flight is not known.
