Indonesia called off till monday morning the search for an AirAsia plane with 162 people on board that went missing early on Sunday , after pilots asked to change course to avoid bad weather during a flight from Indonesia's Surabaya city to Singapore.
Tatang Kurniadi , head of Indonesia's National Committee of Safety Transportation , said it was too early to detect any of the so- called electronic pings from its Black Box recorder.
Indonesia AirAsia is 49 % owned by Malaysia- based budget carrier AirAsia, which has had a clean safety record since it began operating 13 years ago.
