 KUALA LUMPUR: A massive search is underway for the missing AirAsia Flight QZ8501 which lost contact with the Jakarta Air traffic control tower at 5.170 AM Malaysian time.

 Indonesian authorities have mobilised search and rescue operation near Belitung Island. It has deployed five ships and a surveillance Aircraft carrying 15 Indonesian Air Force personnel.

 The Airbus 320-200 was carrying 162 people of whom 155 were passengers. It was travelling from Surabaya to Singapore.  There are emerging reports the plane may have been trying to avoid bad weather at the time it disappeared.

 A leaked, and yet unconfirmed Air traffic control sheet, shared by Pilots on Airlines.Net, showed the A320 continuing to climb through 36,000 feet, but only registering a speed of 353 knots.

 “Gives me that feeling of another AF 447 ... or something similar at least,’’ one Pilot suggested, referring to the ill-fated Air France Flight that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on June 1, 2009, killing 228 passengers.

 The Pilot Captain Iriyanto had 6100 flying hours under his belt, while his first officer had accrued 2275 Flying Hours.

 Hauntingly, one of the Flight attendants believed missing aboard AirAsia Flight QZ8501 posted a number of tweets about doomed Malaysia Airlines MH370 and MH17 earlier this year.
Oscar Desano is listed as a Flight attendant on board the AirAsia Flight which lost contact with Air control between Indonesia and Singapore on Sunday.
In a post to his Twitter account on Christmas eve, he wrote: “Merry Christmas to all my beautiful friends who celebrate it”
He wrote on July 17, following the downing of MH17 by a ground-to-Air missile: “I feel truly sorry for the loss of MH17 by Malaysia Airlines. It’s been 2 big catastrophic event for MAS in 1 year...

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia .  Australian Northern Territory Australian health officials have warned of a "serious" incidence of children inhaling Aviation fuel in the Northern Territory.  Security camera footage shows children breaking into the remote Elcho Island Airport and siphoning fuel from planes. Petrol sniffing is not a new challenge to hit remote communities, but Aviation fuel is even more dangerous because it contains lead, local officials  aid. Lead exposure can badly damage the brain and nervous system.   Health officials believe more than 100 youths - one as young as seven - have inhaled the fuel on Elcho Island and a nearby area since March last year. "Our kids are ending up in hospital by getting infected by chemicals, which is bad for them," one Aboriginal elder, John Gurrumgurrum Burarrwanga, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. #Aviation_English_News_ Readers_Positions  #E...
