Accidents and incidents[edit]

• On February 11, 2006, Adam Air Flight 782, registration number PK-KKE, lost navigational and communications systems twenty minutes into a flight from JakartatoMakassar, South Sulawesi. The plane was subsequently flown into a radar "black spot" and was lost for several hours, eventually making an emergency landing at Tambolaka Airport, Sumba (on a different island 481 km away from their intended destination, and southeast from their origin, instead of north-east). The pilot was fired because the Adam Air flight violated multiple safety regulations, including removing an aircraft before it was due for inspection by aviation authorities.^[2]
