The PT Nusantara Buana Airlines plane is reported to have crashed in a mountainous area, at a midpoint in its route, in the mountainous Bohorok area about 70 kilometres north-west of Medan. Search and rescue teams have been deployed but did not reach the location of the wreckage, turning back due to difficult terrain and bad weather.

Thirty hours after the crash, part of the rescue team reported seeing a plane door being opened. After leaving Medan by truck, the trek on foot takes six hours, according to search teams. The plane is apparently mostly intact in the canopy. Chopper flyby photos show wings damaged and nose gone.

Before nightfall, a helicopter lowered two rescuers by rope about 300 meters yards from the wreckage but they are separated by a ravine. An open door seems to indicate there might be survivors.

Four children were aboard.

Nusantara Buana Air is on the EU blacklist.
