A passenger plane with 10 people including three children on board has been reported missing in Indonesia.

Seven passengers and three crew members were flying through the South Sulawesi province when they lost radio contact roughly 30 minutes before it was due to land in the provincial capital of Makassar.

Transportation Ministry spokesman Julius Barata confirmed a search crew had been dispatched for the passenger plane – owned by airline Aviastar Mandiri.

The plane went missing just several hundred miles north of the search area for MH370.
