Reports just coming through: aircraft was in Asia on a demo flight; had left airport (presumably Jakarta) for a flight that should have lasted 30 mins; 3h later, no aircraft and fuel should have been exhausted. Reports still sketchy.

From AVHerald:
Indonesian Authorities reported the aircraft was enroute at 10,000 feet near Mount Salak when at about 15:30L (08:30Z) the crew requested and was cleared to descend to 6,000 feet. This proved to be the last radio transmission. Radar contact was lost when the aircraft was in a right hand turn descending through 6,200 feet.
Mount Salak is 2,211 meters/7254 feet high.

 Сегодня пересекли экватор на Сухом Суперджете. Экватор географический и экватор нашего путешествия, то есть мы уже побывали в трех странах (Казахстан, Пакистан и Мьянма) и нам осталось еще 3 страны (Индонезия, Лаос и Вьетнам). Во время пересечения экватора устроили праздник Нептуна, причем…
I hope that these people are alive!
