An Indonesian Boeing 737-500 plane with 50 people on board has been declared missing minutes after take-off.

The Sriwijaya Air flight lost contact after taking off from Indonesian capital Jakarta on Saturday.

It was on its way to Pontianak in West Kalimantan province. Pontianak is a city on the island of Borneo, part of the Indonesian archipelago.
