The aircraft was briefly transferred to the United Airlines fleet on October 1, 2010 under the same registration number and finally to Sriwijaya Air on May 15, 2012 . It was the first of a total of fifteen 737-500s that Sriwijaya Air received in 2012 to replace their 737-200s. The aircraft was equipped with two CFMI CFM56-3B1 engines and belonged to the leasing company GECAS . Sriwijaya Air named the aircraft "Citra". The aircraft was parked in Surabaya for a long time last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and was not put back into service until December 19, 2020.

Inmates

On board flight SJ182 there were 50 passengers, including 10 children, two pilots and four flight attendants as well as six other airline employees who were traveling as deadhead passengers on the flight.

The flight captain was considered experienced, he started his career in 1987 with the Indonesian Air Force and left there in 1998 as an officer.

Course of events

The flight was the machine's fifth flight on the day of the accident, which was scheduled to take off at 1:40 p.m. local time from Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta and land at 3:15 p.m. at Supadio Airport in Pontianak on the island of Borneo . However, the scheduled departure was delayed by almost an hour, so that the aircraft did not take off from runway 25R until 14:36. The climb was normal for the first three minutes, and the machine reached an altitude of about 10,600 feet (about 3,230 meters) until it suddenly lost altitude rapidly and disappeared from the radar off the coast of Jakarta. The last ADS-B signal was received at 14:40:11 at an altitude of 1400 feet (approximately 426 meters), 21 seconds after the machine began to descend.
