A statement received just minutes ago from AirAsia Indonesia reveals the carrier is aware and participating in the international search and rescue mission organised by The National Search and Rescue Agency Republic of Indonesia (BASARNAS).
The mission, which involves Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, resumed this morning at 06:00am WIB.
“AirAsia Indonesia continue to support these efforts and has been actively cooperating with the search and rescue authorities,” the statement read.
“AirAsia Indonesia’s primary focus remains on the families and Sunu Widyatmoko, Chief Executive Officer of AirAsia Indonesia is currently stationed at the family centre in Surabaya. We have been keeping the families updated on the search and rescue efforts as well as provide emotional support. Another group of AirAsia officials are providing the same to the families based in Singapore.”
“We will release further information as soon as it becomes available and our thoughts and prayers are with those on board QZ8501.”
