Overview
- A joint search-and-rescue team located the wreckage near Sekadau and confirmed that all eight people on board had died.
- The helicopter lost contact after departing Melawi in West Kalimantan, where dense forest and no mobile signal slowed the search.
- The flight carried a pilot, an engineer, and six passengers, including one Malaysian national.
- Basarnas said a satellite detected the aircraft’s emergency beacon during the overnight effort.
- Investigators have not given a cause as the remote, rugged site will likely slow the inquiry.
