SAR statement via social media following news that the plane has been found:

(loose translation)

1. At this time the Joint SAR team has not arrived at the location where local residents reported seeing the Trigana aircraft crash

2. Until the Joint SAR team arrives at the crash location and can directly verify the situation, we cannot confirm any news being reported elsewhere

3. We are awaiting direct reports from the team which was dispatched this afternoon to the presumed point where the Trigana flight lost contact

4. To ensure accuracy of the news being disseminated, it is best to wait for direct reports from the Joint SAR team which is making their way to the crash site

5. The characteristics of the terrain in Papua (Oksibil) makes it difficult to quickly reach the presumed crash location as reported by local residents

6. At this point BASARNAS (National SAR) has not received the Trigana flight crash site coordinates

7. We urge all parties to wait for the Joint SAR team findings from the field to ensure the information being disseminated is more precise and accurate
