The plane was carrying 50 passengers and 12 crew members, all Indonesian nationals, including six extra crew for another trip. They handed the items over to the National Transportation Safety Committee for further investigation to determine whether they were from the missing plane. "The satellite system owned by neighbouring Australia also did not pick up on the ELT signal from the missing plane," Aji said. The twin-engine, single aisle Boeing 737 is one of the world's most popular planes for short and medium-haul flights. Relatives of passengers on board missing Sriwijaya Air flight 182 wait for news at the Supadio airport in Pontianak on Indonesia's Borneo island on Saturday.
