Presumed deceased

An Indonesia Air Transport ATR 42-500, chartered by the government for fisheries surveillance, crashed into Mount Bulusaraung in South Sulawesi on January 17, 2026. Ten people were aboard—seven crew members and three Marine Affairs Ministry staff conducting aerial monitoring of Indonesian waters. Rescuers recovered all ten victims by January 23 after a seven-day search through steep terrain, thick fog, and high winds, with the final two bodies found in the early morning hours.
