The flight was last seen on the radar at 6:16 a.m., and after several hours of searching efforts to find the missing plane have been halted until daylight.The Airbus A320 took off from Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest airport, with an Indonesian captain and a French co-pilot, five cabin crew members and 155 passengers, including 16 children and one infant. According to an official statement by AirAsia, most of the passengers were Indonesians. There were also three South Koreans, a Malaysian, a British national and his 2-year-old Singaporean daughter. The captain reportedly has more than 20,000 flying hours and the first officer has 2,275 flying hours.At Surabaya airport, families were gathered together in a small room, attempting to comfort each other as they await word on the fate of the flight. AirAsia is 49 percent owned by Malaysia, which makes this the third ill-fated flight of this calendar year for that country.
