    Air travel not having a good time as of late.


    An AirAsia flight carrying 162 people from Indonesia to Singapore has lost contact with air traffic controllers.

    Indonesian Transport Ministry official Hadi Mustofa said flight QZ 8501 lost contact with the Jakarta air traffic control tower at 7.24am local time.

    He said the plane had asked for an unusual route before contact was lost with Indonesia's Juanda International Airport in Surabaya.

    I've been following this story during the course of my night shift, and it is not looking very hopeful for them at all.

    Does Air Asia belong to the QPR owner, Tony Fernandes or whatever

    worrying times for air travellers especially so if your carrier is an Asian based airline - awful news

    Seems a very dodgy part of the world to fly at the moment.

    Apparently the stats show planes are getting safer to fly on, just that a lot more fly now so there is going to be more crashed.

    Poor souls, I know it's far too much to hope for, but, I do hope survivors can be found!
