In the latest in a string of incidents, an engine of an AirAsia aircraft with 120 passengers onboard cut out during taxiing before takeoff from Juanda International Airport in the Indonesian city of Surabaya, and passengers were forced to disembark.

The plane was then pulled back to where it parked and we were asked by the stewardess to leave the plane,” passenger Yusuf Fitriadi was quoted as saying.

Some time later, a man in a pilot’s uniform came out to the passengers waiting at the terminal and told them that the plane’s starter monitor had malfunctioned.

An Air India aircraft (Reuters/Danish Siddiqui)

iLMu2lautan - Selepas menerima satu ‘anonymous tipoff’ tanpa nama, agensi perisikan India telah memberi amaran kpd Biro Keselamatan Penerbangan Awam (BCAS) bahwa pengganas tidak lama lagi boleh sasarkan satu penerbangan Air India, dan lapangan terbang di seluruh negara ini telah dalam siap sedia tinggi.

Amaran telah dibunyikan di lapangan terbang utama India, seperti Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Indira Gandhi di New Delhi dan Lapangan Terbang Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose In di Kolkata, menurut akhbar Times of India.

Amaran yang menyebabkan mengetatkan keselamatan datang sehari selepas panggilan telefon tanpa nama kepada Air India pejabat tempahan bandar di Kolkata, kata polis tempatan.

"Pesawat Air India akan dirampas," kata suara lelaki dalam Bengali. Kolkata Pasukan Petugas Khas Polis dan jabatan detektif telah bergabung tenaga untuk mengesan pemanggil.

"Kami telah memfailkan aduan di balai polis Bowbazar. Oleh kerana ancaman itu satu yang umum, mengenai penerbangan [Air India], kami telah meningkatkan keselamatan di semua pesawat yg beroperasi di seluruh negara ini," kata seorang jurucakap Air India, mengesahkan panggilan.

Perkhidmatan perisikan Afghanistan juga berjaga-jaga, yang mempunyai maklumat yang diterima pada rampasan kemungkinan pesawat terbang dari New Delhi ke Kabul, agensi berita Pajhwok dilaporkan.

Panggilan tanpa nama datang sebagai Presiden Amerika Syarikat Barack Obama ditetapkan untuk melawat India pada Hari Republik, 26 Januari.

INTEL Agencies WARN terrorists May Hijack Air India FLIGHT, Airports On high ALERT . . .

After receiving an anonymous tipoff, Indian intelligence agencies have warned the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) that terrorists may imminently target an Air India flight, and airports throughout the country were put on high alert.

The alert has been sounded at major Indian airports, such as Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, according to the Times of India newspaper.

The warning that caused a tightening of security came a day after an anonymous telephone call to an Air India city booking office in Kolkata, local police said.

“Air India aircraft will be hijacked," a male voice said in Bengali. Kolkata Police's Special Task Force and detective department have joined forces to track down the caller.

"We have filed a complaint at Bowbazar police station. Since the threat was a general one, regarding [Air India] flights, we have heightened security on all aircraft operating across the country," an Air India spokesperson said, confirming the call.

Afghanistan’s intelligence services are also on alert, having received information on a possible hijack of a plane flying from New Delhi to Kabul, Pajhwok news agency reported.

The anonymous call came as US President Barack Obama is set to visit India on Republic Day, January 26.

"Lebih banyak kakitangan keselamatan telah dikerahkan di dalam dan sekitar lapangan terbang. Akan ada pemeriksaan yang lebih ketat dpd orang ramai dan sesiapa yang kelihatan mencurigakan akan ditahan dan disoal-siasat. Di samping itu, terdapat pasukan reaksi cepat bersiap sedia," kata seorang sumber di lapangan terbang Kolkata.

Pihak berkuasa telah memperkenalkan pelbagai peringkat memeriksa walaupun ahli-ahli kakitangan, jadi pemeriksaan keselamatan dijangka akan mengambil lebih banyak masa sekarang, dan ada pun sedikit kelewatan dalam perlepasan penerbangan.

Krew kabin telah dilaporkan telah diminta untuk melihat keluar untuk "elemen masalah," dan kakitangan bawah tanah telah diarahkan untuk memeriksa dengan teliti semua bagasi kabin selepas menaiki pesawat penumpang.

Tentera India juga akan meronda kawasan berhampiran dengan lapangan terbang New Delhi pada kenderaan, dilengkapi dengan mesingan ringan.

Amaran perisikan dilaporkan berkata bahawa ancaman ini dapat dipenuhi dengan cara yang sama seperti dalam tahun 1999, apabila pengganas merampas IC 814 ke Kandahar.

BCAS mengambil ancaman yang sangat serius, kerana lapangan terbang di Kolkata adalah berjaga-jaga pada bulan November tahun lepas, dan Pengawal Pantai yang dipintas sebuah kapal yang mencurigakan dari Pakistan pada Malam Tahun Baru di Laut Arab.

"More security personnel have been deployed in and around the airport. There will be tighter screening of people and anyone who appears suspicious will be detained and questioned. In addition, there are quick reaction teams on standby," a source at Kolkata airport said.

The authorities have introduced multi-level checking even of the staff members, so the security checks are expected to take more time now, and there have already been slight delays in flight departures.

Cabin crews have reportedly been asked to look out for “problem elements,” and the ground staff have been instructed to thoroughly check all cabin baggage after the boarding of passengers.

India’s military will also be patrolling areas close to the New Delhi airport on vehicles, equipped with light machine guns.

The intelligence alert reportedly says that this threat could be fulfilled the similar way as in year 1999, when terrorists hijacked IC 814 to Kandahar.

BCAS is taking the threat very seriously, as the airport in Kolkata was on alert in November last year, and the Coast Guard intercepted a suspicious vessel from Pakistan on New Year's Eve in the Arabian Sea.

AirAsia flight search: 30 victims’ bodies recovered, 

some of them belted into seats

The bodies of 30 victims of the AirAsia Flight QZ8501 plane crash have been recovered as internationally-backed search operations attempt to locate the remainder of the wreckage amid rough weather conditions.

Five of the victims’ bodies which were recovered were still belted into their seats when they were found, Indonesian Navy official Col. Yayan Sofiyan told local channel Metro TV. Twenty-one bodies were found Friday, the majority by a US naval vessel.

Four bodies have been identified so far. Hayati Lutfiah Hamid was identified Sunday by her fingerprints, and three more bodies were found to be those of passengers Kevin Alexander Soetjipto and Grayson Herbert Linaksita, and crewmember Khairunnisa Haidar Fauzi.

Rear Marshal Henry Bambang Soelistyo, head of Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency, has said that bad weather is a concern as his staff attempt to safely conduct the search.

The search is also complicated by the fact that in 1942 one of the largest naval battles of World War II, the Battle of the Java Sea, took place in the area.

Pasukan carian kini menggunakan peralatan sonar dan logam pengesan canggih, AP melaporkan.

Krew berharap apabila fiuslaj terletak ia akan bersama-sama dengan kira-kira 150 penumpang dan kakitangan kabin masih hilang, membawa beberapa bentuk penutupan kepada saudara-mara.

The search team is currently using sophisticated sonar equipment and metal detectors, AP reported.

The crews hope that when the fuselage is located it will have along with it some 150 passengers and cabin staff still missing, bringing some form of closure to relatives.

“We will focus on underwater detection,” Soelistyo said and vowed to recover the bodies of "our brothers and sisters ... whatever the conditions we face." He estimated that the fuselage is currently at a depth of between 80 and 100 feet.
