A Lion Air jet was readying to land into the resort island of Bali on Saturday when it crashed into the sea near the runway of the
Bali Ngurah Rai Aiport, leaving nearly 45 people injured.
The 101 passengers aboard the Boeing 737 were rescued from the crash site and taken to several different hospitals for injury treatment.
A spokesman for the airport said that although people where
harmed, there were no serious injuries.
Another spokesman for Lion Air said that the jet “apparently failed to reach the runway and fell into the sea.”
The 737 was received by Lion Air in March and was
approved for flights.
Reuters reports Lion Air as being a budget popular method of
travel for Indonesian, but the country has a poor airline safety record.
