The wreckage of a passenger plane which went missing with 54 people aboard in rugged eastern Indonesia Sunday, August 16, has been found by villagers. The plane was operated by Trigana Air, a small airline that was put up in 1991 to fly 40 local destinations in Indonesia. It has suffered 14 serious incidents since it began operations. The airline is on a blacklist of carriers banned from European Union airspace. The plane lost contact with air traffic control just after taking off from Jayapura, the capital of Papua province. Officials blamed bad weather for the crash.
