An AirAsia Airbus A320, carrying the registration number PK-AXC, is now the subject of a search after it failed to check in with Air Traffic services, Sunday, some 42 minutes after departure. The flight originated in the Indonesian city of Surabaya and was enroute to Singapore. Some 162 passengers are reported to have been on board the aircraft.
