PA Toughens Language in Unilateral UN Resolution-Palestinian Authority presents a more toughly-worded UN draft resolution on statehood, but a date on the vote is yet to be determined.By Elad Benari-First Publish: 12/30/2014, 12:13 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

The Palestinian Authority’s envoys presented on Monday a more toughly-worded United Nations (UN) draft resolution on statehood that could come up for a vote at the Security Council this week, AFP reports.Arab ambassadors met at UN headquarters for about two hours to endorse the text that contains new provisions on declaring eastern Jerusalem the capital of a Palestinian state, settling the issue of prisoner releases and halting Israeli construction in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem.But a final decision on the timing for a vote on the draft resolution at the Security Council rests with PA and Jordanian leaders."Both our leaderships will be discussing, to find the best way and the best timing to vote on the Security Council resolution," Jordanian Ambassador Dina Kawar was quoted as having told reporters."Realistically, it could happen tomorrow," added PA envoy Riyad Mansour.The draft resolution was formally presented to the council on December 17, but the United States quickly rejected the text over Palestinian insistence that deadlines be set.The PA said it was open to negotiations on the text and Jordan began talks on a measure that could garner a consensus among the 15 council members.But the latest push showed that prospects for a resolution that would satisfy both the PA and the United States were bleak.Discussions on the draft resolution come amid mounting international alarm over the ongoing violence and the failure to re-start negotiations.It remains unclear if the PA would seek a quick vote or hold off until January 1 when five new members with a pro-Palestinian stance join  the Security Council.Diplomats said it was unlikely that the resolution would garner nine votes under the current makeup of the council -- a scenario that would allow the United States to avoid resorting to its veto power.Angola, Malaysia, New Zealand, Spain and Venezuela begin their two-year stint at the council on January 1, replacing Argentina, Australia, Luxembourg, Rwanda and South Korea.Russia has said it will support the resolution, and while U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has not publicly stated that Washington would use its veto against the resolution, his spokeswoman recently said the United States will not support the resolution.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday called on the international community to oppose the PA’s moves at the UN."We expect the international community, at least the responsible members of that community to oppose vigorously this UN diktat, this UN Security Council resolution because what we need always is direct negotiations and not imposed conditions," Netanyahu said during a meeting with Indiana Governor Mike Pence."But I want to guarantee you, to you and to the people of Israel: If the international community does not reject the Palestinian Authority's proposal, we will. Israel will oppose conditions that endanger our future," he added.

PA, Arab Council Weigh Deadline for UN Draft Resolution-Reports differing on when the draft will be presented to the UN, as Jordan vows to push ahead - despite PA hesitancy.By Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 12/29/2014, 8:29 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Palestinian Authority (PA) envoys are pressing on with changes to a draft UN resolution on statehood Monday, meeting with Arab countries to decide when the text should be put to a vote at the Security Council, according to AFP.Security Council member Jordan called the meeting of the Arab Group at the United Nations to discuss the new draft that lays out a time frame to reach a final peace deal with Israel."We want to discuss with the Arab Group the amendments that the Palestinians are proposing to the resolution ... and to see when is a good time to pass to a vote," Jordanian Ambassador Dina Kawar told reporters.The draft resolution was formally presented to the council less than two weeks ago but the United States said it would not support the text.The resolution sets a 12-month deadline to wrap up negotiations on a final settlement and calls for Israel to complete a withdrawal from Judea-Samaria by the end of 2017. The deal would pave the way for the creation of a Palestinian state with Israel sharing Jerusalem as its capital, according to the text.Arab ambassadors were to decide on whether to seek a vote at the Security Council this week, possibly as early as Tuesday, Jordanian and Palestinian diplomats said.But with five new members who have a pro-Palestinian stance joining the Security Council on January 1, the ambassadors may decide to hold off on a vote until next month.Israel has strongly opposed the text, and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated earlier Monday that it jeopardizes Israel's existence."Israel and our civilization is under attack," Netanyahu stated. "The attacks come from Iran; the attacks come from the various Islamists. The attack is now coming on Israel from the Palestinian Authority seeking to impose on us a diktat that would undermine Israel's security, and put its future in peril."

Netanyahu Calls on States to Oppose PA's 'Diktats' at the UN-Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says PA statehood bid 'puts Israel's future in peril' in meeting with Indiana governor.By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 12/29/2014, 6:08 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with Indiana Governor Mike Pence on Monday, noting at the beginning of the meeting that Israel is "under attack" by Islamists and that Israel will reject a bid for Palestinian statehood."Israel and our civilization is under attack," Netanyahu stated. "The attacks come from Iran; the attacks come from the various Islamists. The attack is now coming on Israel from the Palestinian Authority seeking to impose on us a diktat that would undermine Israel's security, put its future in peril.""We expect the international community, at least the responsible members of that community to oppose vigorously this UN diktat, this UN Security Council resolution because what we need always is direct negotiations and not imposed conditions," he continued. "But I want to guarantee you, to you and to the people of Israel: If the international community does not reject the Palestinian Authority's proposal, we will. Israel will oppose conditions that endanger our future."Netanyahu's words reiterate Israel's opposition to a PA statehood bid being circulated throughout the UN, which calls for Israel to withdraw from Judea and Samaria by 2017 to establish 'Palestine.' Pence is in Israel for a Christmas vacation trip, where he is meeting with several government authorities and local leaders as well in an effort to expand the economic cooperation between Indiana and the Jewish state.The governor made headlines Sunday for rejecting an offer to have Christmas dinner with Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, after Abbas approached him last week with the offer to have a car bring him to a "unscheduled and unsolicited meeting."Pence has stressed on multiple occasions that he supports Israel, making remarks to the Christian Broadcasting Network condemning current US President Barack Obama's policy on Israel and Jerusalem in 2010.But despite this, Pence stated Monday at the meeting that "right now, the United States' support for Israel has never been stronger.""The strong and broad bipartisan support for the State of Israel I know will be reflected in decisions that our Congress makes in the months ahead, to preserve the support the United States provides for Israel, to ensure that Israel is able to enter into negotiations, to achieve defensible borders, and secure its own peace," he added.

AirAsia flight QZ8501: extended search resumes amid fading hopes-The Australian-December 30, 2014 1:22PM

1.16pm: The US State Department has confirmed it is sending a Destroyer to the Java Sea, to help in the search for AirAsia flight QZ 8501. Equipment on the ship may include detection equipment deployed by air, surface and sub-surface.

12.06am: Smoke has been reportedly seen on an island in the area where AirAsia flight QZ8501 disappeared from the radar. CNN is reporting that planes have been diverted to check the source of the smoke.

11.28am: Dozens of planes and ships searching Indonesian waters for missing AirAsia flight 8501 are focusing on a patch of oil for possible clues of the plane’s whereabouts.

Australia, Malaysia and Singapore have joined the Indonesia-led search, and China says it is also sending help.The search is now concentrated on an oil patch spotted off Belitung island, across from Kalimantan on Borneo island.“We are making sure whether it was avtur (aviation fuel) from the AirAsia plane or from a vessel because that location is a shipping line,” Indonesian Air Force spokesman Hadi Tjahjanto said. National Search and Rescue Agency chief Bambang Soelistyo said ships and aircraft were searching an area where the sea is 40-50 metres deep.

10:50am: The daughter of the AirAsia pilot Irianto has begged: “Papa come home, I still need Papa.” Mr Irianto’s daughter Angela used local social media for her grief stricken plea.In the French Caribbean island of Martinique, the mother of co-pilot Remi Emmanuel Plesel said she was heartbroken and that she had “a bad feeling” when the phone rang in the middle of the night. “He wanted to be a pilot ever since he was a child,” Rolande Plesel said.

7.52am: It looks increasingly likely that the missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 encountered atrocious weather before disappearing from the radar. The region it was flying over is known for severe thunder storms in December and January, which produce heavy turbulence, lightning, wind shear and iceing - all of which pose risks to aircraft.Indonesia’s weather agency said it had informed airlines of cumulonimbus clouds, which can cause severe thunder storms, in the region before AirAsia’s departure.

7.36am: An Indonesian university student studying in Melbourne is believed to be among the passengers on the missing AirAsia plane.Kevin Alexander Soetjipto from Malang in East Java was studying finance at Monash University’s Clayton campus, according to his LinkedIn profile.

UPDATE-DEC 29,14-02:15PM
15 SHIPS AND 30 PLANES HAVE BEEN SCOURING THE SOUTH BORNEO-JAVA AREA.AND THE AREA EXPANDS TONIGHT AFTER 6PM WHEN ITS 6AM IN INDONESIA AREA.It is 1:23 AM local time in Belitung (GMT +7). Most likely there wont' be anything important happening until the day break when the search operation resume. Come back in 5 hours.Metro TV interview a local ship captain who claimed that he noticed a red plane flying low yesterday at 00' 17' 202 S dan 105' 40' 422 E.According to the Guardian ≥ Air traffic controllers cited a crowded airspace as the reason they denied AirAsia 8501 its request to increase its altitude minutes before the plane disappeared, AP reports.Six other commercial airliners were flying above the threatening Cumulonimbus clouds, controllers said, delaying the approval. More from AP:Minutes later, the jet carrying 162 people was gone from the radar. No distress signal was issued. It is believed to have crashed into Indonesia’s Java Sea on Sunday morning, but exactly what happened and whether the plane’s flight path played any role won’t be determined until after the aircraft is found.Broad aerial surveys on Monday spotted two oily patches and objects in separate locations, but it’s unknown whether any of it is related to the missing Airbus A320-200.The last communication from the cockpit to air traffic control was a request by one of the pilots to increase altitude from 32,000ft (9,754m) to 38,000ft (11,582m) because of the rough weather. The tower was not able to immediately comply because of the other planes, said Bambang Tjahjono, director of the state-owned company in charge of air-traffic control.AP spoke with a former pilot, Sarjono Joni, who’s familiar with Indonesian flight plans and weather. Sarjono said planes usually veer left or right when they encounter rough weather, and that pilots would only likely request to increase altitude if the plane was already experiencing heavy turbulence.Heavy air traffic is common for the area, which bridges several densely populated cities.According to Channel News Asia.An object spotted in the Java Sea early Monday was actually a personal locator beacon worn by rescuers, The Star quoted the chief of BASARNAS as saying.Mr Bambang Soelistyo also said search operations for QZ8501 will extend to land on the western part of West Kalimantan on Tuesday, The Star reports.

As AirAsia search ends second day, families can only wait-By Devianti Faridz, Indonesia correspondent,Channel NewsAsia-POSTED: 29 Dec 2014 20:14-UPDATED: 29 Dec 2014 22:52

SURABAYA, Indonesia: Family members gathered and hugged and cried at the international airport here as they anxiously awaited news on the fate of passengers aboard AirAsia Flight QZ8501 as a second day of an intense multi-nation search for the plane headed into dusk.Authorities had little new to report and little evidence on why the jet lost contact en route from Surabaya to Singapore shortly after the pilot requested permission to head to a higher altitude in the face of a storm, Channel NewsAsia reports.The inability to immediately find the plane has brought back echoes of the ordeal of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 and questions of how what appeared to be a routine flight could go so wrong."I found out from television yesterday morning, and I found the names there in the list and so I was shocked and was not sure the first time," said one anxious family member waiting for any information.Another family member said that more detail was needed. "Regardless of the fact that this is a tragedy, questions emerge on why the flight was moved up from 7.30am to 5.20am that day,” the second person said. “I believe many families would like to know the reason. If they hadn't left earlier, this may not have happened."The head of the aviation authority at Surabaya’s Juanda International Airport, Pramintohadi Sukarno, said that the investigation would be thorough from his end."We follow the regulations starting from the investigation on the possibility of the performance of the aircraft. On the other hand, we have to check all the procedures whether they comply or not with the civil aviation security part of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) regulations."But until authorities find evidence of the whereabouts of the missing plane, distraught families and friends of those on board have little choice but to wait for the next briefing and hope their loved ones will be found.AirAsia has provided free accommodation and transport to and from the airport for family members and Surabaya City officials have set up a call centre and offered assistance to locate next-of-kin and to provide counselling."We have begun safeguarding some houses in which entire families had left empty to go on a vacation,” said Tri Rismaharini, the mayor of Surabaya. “I'm working with local police and neighbourhood officials to help keep an eye on the houses."- CNA/el

UPDATE-DEC 29,14-09:00AM
The Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency, BASARNAS, has also accepted the Singapore Armed Forces’ offer of a Submarine support and rescue vessel (MV Swift Rescue). It is ready to set sail.Australia managed to detect 2 signal today. The first one comes from a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon, while the second one is still unconfirmed and detected around Bangka Belitung.08:59 GMT: The Australian Defense Force declined to comment on the potential sighting of the plane due to the fact that Indonesia is overseeing the search. Beijing has offered to send aircraft and ships to help in the search for the missing AirAsia flight.Search for plane is not easy with bad weather at sea, says Indonesian VP Jusuf Kalla.VP of Indonesia tells @CNN it's still a "search and rescue" operation for #AirAsia #QZ8501.2 boats back from #QZ8501 search around Pulau Nangka, Pulau Pesumut; nothing found.RSS Valour and RSS Supreme have arrived at the search area to join #QZ8501 hunt: Ng Eng Hen.Pope prays for passengers.Pope Francis says his thoughts and prayers are with the passengers of flight QZ8501, as well as the 478 passengers of the Italian ferry that is on fire off the coast of Corfu."I am sending prayers and love to their relatives and to people who are suffering in these difficult situations, as well as those who are working on the rescue operations," he said, speaking from the Vatican.

Did Mysterious Chinese Blogger Predict Disappearance of AirAsia Flight?-Weibo user warned travelers to avoid AirAsia in series of posts-by Paul Joseph Watson | December 29, 2014

A mysterious user of the Chinese social media network Weibo apparently predicted the disappearance on AirAsia Flight QZ8501 almost two weeks before the plane went missing, urgently warning Chinese nationals not to use the airliner in dozens of posts.The report, carried by the Epoch Times, relates the story of how the individual “repeatedly warned people away from Malaysia Airlines (and) AirAsia.”“Do not become another victim of MH370,” warned the individual in a December 15 post, adding that AirAsia was about to be targeted by “powerful” forces which he referred to as the “black hand”.“This is a life-saving message to Europe or the US tour, do not take AirAsia (or) Malaysia Airlines airliner,” states the translated version of one of the posts.The user went on to assert that the “black hand” was out to “ruin AirAsia,” Malaysia’s second largest airline company. Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 went missing in March earlier this year, while MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July.The individual repeated his warning in subsequent posts made on the 16th and 17th of December, writing, “This is a major event in human life, we have to pay attention,” adding, “far from AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines away, cherish life.”Speculation on the Reddit forum by Chinese users suggests that the posts may have originally been made on the 15th but then later edited with the prediction about AirAsia added after the disappearance of Flight QZ8501.The user made a total of 39 posts on the subject which were viewed by 650,000 people. After flight QZ8501 disappeared, users returned to the threads to express amazement at the individual’s prediction, speculating that he was an “insider” of some kind or connected to the Malaysian or Chinese government.Investigators are still hunting for the wreckage of the AirAsia flight, which had 162 passengers on board when it disappeared during a flight from Surabaya to Singapore, with the head of Indonesia’s search-and-rescue team asserting that the plane is likely to be at the bottom of the sea.No Chinese nationals were on Flight QZ8501 when it went missing.A separate report carried by Russian news outlet Sputnik claims that “a relative of a missing passenger received a text message from an unknown sender, stating that the plane made an emergency landing and all passengers were alive,” although this was never subsequently confirmed.Unidentified objects discovered in the Java Sea by an Australian AP-3C Orion patrol aircraft are not likely to be wreckage from the AirAsia Flight.Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/paul.j.watson.71

MH370: B777 captain says he knows where it is!-Geoffrey Thomas AirlineRatings.com
24 Dec 2014-Experienced Boeing 777 says he has calculated where MH370 lies.airlineratings.com

A senior Boeing 777 captain, Simon Hardy, believes he has calculated exactly where the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have crashed into the Southern Indian Ocean.The position is S38.082 E87.400 (latitude and longitude using decimals rather than minutes).According to David Learmount of FlightGlobal arguably the world’s most respected airline safety editor the location given by the experienced captain “is not fundamentally at odds with the present MH370 search assumptions, being in much the same part of the southeastern Indian Ocean.”

Malaysia rejects evidence

However Mr Learmount adds that it is “just outside the core target area currently being trawled by a search team led by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB).”Capt Simon Hardy’s calculations are based on a combination of data which include the Inmarsat satellite communication "handshake arcs", his expertise in 777 performance calculation, and some mathematical "reverse engineering" of the navigation geometry known to apply to this flight.“Hardy is aware that many very able people have theories about MH370, not least those advising the search, but believes the result of his calculations is worthy of examination, and hopes the ATSB will find the result useful,” said Mr Learmount."I respectfully recommend it to the MH370 search team," Hardy told FlightGlobal.Captain Hardy is an experienced airline pilot and currently works as a senior 777 captain for a major international airline. “Like other aviators he was distressed by the MH370 loss, and his concern that relatives of those on board might never know what happened inspired him to begin a geometric investigation of known MH370 navigational facts. He emerged with a set of conclusions that enabled him to isolate what he believes to be MH370’s actual track,” said Mr Learmount.He explained his rationale and how the result emerged to FlightGlobal thus: "Rather than picking speeds and a route at random and making them fit with the [satcom handshake] arcs, I have managed to let the arcs tell us both the speed and direction, and finally a location – the exact track between arcs 4 and 6 – where it was doing that speed and heading. I have 'reverse engineered' it."He continues: "I was expecting to have to deduce a path from waypoint ANOKO [where Hardy calculates the 777 first turned southward] for the aircraft to get to this identified track across arcs 4-6, but then found to my amazement that the track line, when extended north from the 5th arc over a very large distance, went within 2nm of ANOKO. This was the final and strongest eureka moment!"Mr Learmount adds: “The "reverse engineering" involved testing a series of plausible tracks southward over the Indian Ocean from the 777's last known position, and discovering the only trajectory that – uniquely – matches the ratio of actual elapsed times between the consecutive Inmarsat/MH370 "handshakes". He then found, subsequently, that certain known data, when tested against that navigational trajectory, made sense. For example, on that identified track, the actual elapsed time between "handshake arcs" would occur if the 777 was flying at its long-range cruise speed – possibly a coincidence, but a likely choice by the person directing the flight.The ATSB told AirlineRatings.com that while they had not yet seen Captain Hardy's report they "remained confident in their analysis and will continue the search in the high priority areas we have determined."

Indonesia says missing AirAsia plane could be at 'bottom of sea'-Reuters-By Fergus Jensen and Siva Govindasamy-DEC 29,14-YAHOONEWS

JAKARTA (Reuters) - A missing AirAsia jet carrying 162 people could be at the bottom of the sea after it was presumed to have crashed off the Indonesian coast, an official said on Monday, as countries around Asia sent ships and planes to help in the search effort.The Indonesia AirAsia plane, an Airbus A320-200, disappeared after its pilot failed to get permission to fly higher to avoid bad weather during a flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore on Sunday.Flight QZ8501 did not issue a distress signal and disappeared over the Java Sea five minutes after requesting the change of course, which was refused because of heavy air traffic, officials said."Based on our coordinates, we expect it is in the sea, so for now (we think) it is on the sea floor," Soelistyo, head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, told reporters when asked about the missing plane's likely location.A senior Indonesian civil aviation source told Reuters that authorities had the flight's radar data and were waiting for search and rescue teams to find debris before they started their investigation into the cause.Air force spokesman Hadi Tjahjanto said searchers were checking a report of an oil slick off the east coast of Belitung island, near where the plane lost contact. He also said searchers had picked up an emergency locator signal off the south of Borneo island but had been unable to pinpoint it.On board Flight QZ8501 were 155 Indonesians, three South Koreans, and one person each from Singapore, Malaysia and Britain. The co-pilot was French.The disappearance caps a disastrous year for Malaysia-affiliated airlines, with Indonesia AirAsia 49 percent owned by Malaysia-based budget carrier AirAsia.Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing on March 8 on a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew and has not been found. On July 17, the same airline's Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.The AirAsia group, including affiliates in Thailand, the Philippines and India, had not suffered a crash since its Malaysian budget operations began in 2002. The group's shares in Kuala Lumpur were down 8 percent at 0813 GMT.

MULTINATIONAL SEARCH

Tjahjanto said two C-130 Hercules planes were focusing the search for Flight QZ8501 in areas northeast of Indonesia's Bangka island, about halfway between Surabaya and Singapore, in the Java Sea.Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea sent ships and aircraft to join the search, a foreign ministry official said. China also offered to send planes and ships and any other assistance Indonesia needed.Soelistyo said Indonesia might not have the best technology to search underwater and had accepted offers of help from the United States, Britain and France. In 2007, it took Indonesia months to recover flight data recorders from a Boeing 737-400 operated by Indonesia's Adam Air which crashed off Sulawesi island, killing all 102 people on board.According to Indonesian navy Flight Commander Laksamana Pertama Sigit Setiyanta, the sea depths in the area is only 25 to 50 meters (75-150 feet).Flight QZ8501 was traveling at 32,000 feet (9,753 meters) and had asked to fly at 38,000 feet to avoid clouds, said Joko Muryo Atmodjo, air transportation director at Indonesia's Transport Ministry.Permission was not given at the time due to traffic in the area. Five minutes later, at 6.17 a.m. on Sunday (2317 GMT Saturday), the plane lost contact with air traffic control, Atmodjo said.Data from Flightradar24.com, which tracks airline flights in real time, showed several nearby aircraft were at altitudes ranging from 34,000 to 36,000 feet at the time, levels that are not unusual for cruising aircraft.Pilots and aviation experts said thunderstorms, and requests to gain altitude to avoid them, were not unusual in that area."The airplane's performance is directly related to the temperature outside and increasing altitude can lead to freezing of the static radar, giving pilots an erroneous radar reading," said a Qantas Airways pilot with 25 years' experience flying in the region.The resulting danger is that pilots take incorrect action to control the aircraft, said the pilot, who requested anonymity.In such an emergency the pilots would likely have been wrestling to regain control of the aircraft and not had time to issue a distress signal, the Qantas pilot said.Online discussions among pilots centered on unconfirmed secondary radar data from Malaysia that suggested the missing plane was climbing at a speed of 353 knots, about 100 knots too slow in such weather conditions."At that altitude, that speed is exceedingly dangerous," Sydney-based aviation expert Geoff Thomas told Reuters."At that altitude, the thin air, the wings won't support the aircraft at that speed and you get an aerodynamic stall."Safety authorities say accidents involving a loss of control, such as might occur in bad weather, are rare but almost always catastrophic.

"MY HEART BLEEDS"

The Indonesian pilot was experienced and the plane last underwent maintenance in mid-November, the airline said. The aircraft had accumulated about 23,000 flight hours in some 13,600 flights, according to Airbus.Malaysia AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes flew to Surabaya and, along with Indonesian officials, updated distraught relatives of passengers at a crisis center at the airport in Indonesia's second-largest city."Keeping positive and staying strong," he said on Twitter."My heart bleeds for all the relatives of my crew and our passengers. Nothing is more important to us," he said.Indonesia's Transport Ministry said the government would review AirAsia's Indonesian business unit to improve safety.Indonesian President Joko Widodo urged people to pray for the safety of the passengers and crew. Such sentiments were echoed by other world leaders, including Pope Francis.Louise Sidharta was at Singapore's Changi Airport waiting for her fiancée to return from a family holiday."It was supposed to be their last vacation before we got married," she said.(Additional reporting by Gayatri Suroyo in SURABAYA, Chris Nusatya, Cindy Silviana, Kanupriya Kapoor, Michael Taylor and Siva Govindasamy in JAKARTA, Al-Zaquan Amer Hamzah and Praveen Menon in KUALA LUMPUR, Saeed Azhar, Rujun Shen and Anshuman Daga in SINGAPORE, Jane Wardell in SYDNEY, Ben Blanchard in BEIJING, and Tim Hepher in PARIS; Writing by Dean Yates and Paul Tait; Editing by Robert Birsel and Nick Macfie)

AirAsia flight QZ8501: Plane likely at bottom of the sea, says Indonesia's search chief-Published on Dec 29, 2014 10:30 AM-THE STRAITS TIMES

JAKARTA (AFP) - The AirAsia plane that went missing with 162 people on board en route for Singapore is likely at the bottom of the sea, Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency chief said on Monday.“Based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea, the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea,” Mr Bambang Soelistyo told a press conference.“That’s the preliminary suspicion and it can develop based on the evaluation of the result of our search.”Mr Soelistyo said Indonesia did not have “the tools", such as submersible vehicles, required to retrieve the plane from the seabed, but that it is reaching out to other countries for help if necessary.“Due to the lack of technology that we have, I have coordinated with our foreign minister so we will borrow from other countries which have offered. They are the UK, France and US,” he said.The Airbus A320-200 disappeared on Sunday en route from Surabaya in Indonesia’s east Java to Singapore after the crew requested a change of flight plan due to stormy weather, in the third crisis for a Malaysian carrier this year.Singapore, Malaysia and Australia have dispatched aircraft and ships to assist Indonesia in the search, which is centred on the Java Sea. The United States has also said it was ready to assist.

Lapid: We Won't Split Jerusalem-Yesh Atid chairman vows his party would never split Jerusalem, and also launches a tirade against PM Netanyahu and his lack of diplomacy.By Elad Benari-First Publish: 12/28/2014, 5:01 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Yesh Atid chairman, MK Yair Lapid, on Saturday vowed that his party would never split Jerusalem, even at the expense of an agreement with the Palestinian Authority (PA).Speaking at an event in Holon, Lapid also launched a verbal tirade against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his lack of diplomatic action following Operation Protective Edge in Gaza last summer."We will not split the capital, even at the cost of a diplomatic settlement," Lapid said, but added, "However it is possible to reach an agreement, with the help of regional dialogue and preservation of the status quo."The issue of keeping Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty has been mentioned several times in the past week, starting with Labor leader MK Yitzhak Herzog and Hatnua chairwoman MK Tzipi Livni, who vowed that they will keep the Western Wall under Israeli sovereignty. This was followed by comments from Netanyahu, who dismissed Herzog and Livni’s comments.In his remarks on Saturday, Lapid also attacked the government’s conduct after Operation Protective Edge, arguing that Israel should have resumed peace talks and launched discussions with the countries that participated in the Gaza rehabilitation conference in Cairo."There was no real diplomatic effort after Protective Edge. This is wrong and cowardly. If you do not do anything, why are you in power?” Lapid charged, adding, "Hamas is not a partner for talks, it is a terrorist organization. I would have acted for the demilitarization of Gaza with those who contributed to the money to rebuild Gaza.”He further warned that if Netanyahu is re-elected, he will move Israel backwards instead of forward."Before we came there were 39 ministers in the Cabinet, of them three ministers without portfolio. We stopped that. This government had 21 ministers and no ministers without portfolio," Lapid said, adding that if Netanyahu is once again Prime Minister, he would “ruin everything we achieved. He will return the Cabinet to having 30 ministers, will eliminate the winter clock, will cancel equal burden, eliminate the national program for Holocaust survivors. We will not allow him to eliminate everything we worked for."Lapid also made clear in his remarks that he was not opposed to forming a coalition with the hareidi parties after the elections, in sharp contrast to his stance after the 2013 elections when he made a pact with the Jewish Home that was meant to leave the hareidim out of the coalition."After the new draft law passed as well as the agreement to have yeshivot study secular subjects, I have no problem to sit in the same government with the hareidim,” he said, in remarks that follow recent reports that he tried to form an alternate government with the hareidim in order to unseat Netanyahu while avoiding elections.Responding on Saturday night to Lapid’s remarks, the Likud party dismissed them and described the former Finance Minister as “frustrated and frightened”.“Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu led Operation Protective Edge firmly and strongly, but also in a responsible and discretionary manner. The main considerations that stood before him were completing the objectives and tasks assigned to the army, including the destruction of the terrorist tunnels and severely harming the infrastructure of Hamas, while maintaining the security of Israeli citizens and the lives of IDF soldiers in combat situations," the Likud said."Israeli citizens know that these are the real facts and that the security challenges facing Israel are enormous and require an experienced, responsible and determined leadership. All the rest is nonsense coming from a failed, frustrated and frightened politician, who supported the Prime Minister’s firm and level-headed policy during the operation,” it added.

Netanyahu: What is the United Nations Doing?-At Cabinet meeting, PM addresses Iranian and PA threat to Israel while criticizing the UN for its hypocrisy and double standard in response.By Cynthia Blank-First Publish: 12/28/2014, 1:09 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

At the start of the Cabinet meeting Sunday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the dual threat Iran and the Palestinian Authority pose to Israel's security."In recent weeks we have seen a stepped-up Iranian effort to intensify terrorist actions in Judea and Samaria," Netanyahu stated."None other than the Palestinian Authority ambassador in Tehran said that he was enthused by Iranian ruler Khamenei's instructions to send weapons to the 'West Bank' and he added, and I quote, 'The Zionist regime is an aggressive cancerous growth which, sooner or later, must be eliminated.'""Now I emphasize, it was not a Hamas man who said this, it was the Palestinian Authority ambassador in Tehran," Netanyahu noted.The Iranian Tasnim News Agency reported Wednesday that Khamenei's representative, Hojjatoleslam Ali Shirazi had stated, “If there is a need to have our military power available in the West Bank (Judea-Samaria - ed.), we will provide that support." "However," Shirazi added, "that move will not mean our physical presence (in Judea-Samaria)."Iran's Supreme leader has suggested since July that "armed resistance is the only way to confront the destructive regime” of Israel.The Prime Minister then went on to attack the United Nations for its incompetence in dealing with Palestinian incitement against Israel and the double standard the Human Rights Council holds Israel to."Now what is the UN doing in response?" Netanyahu asked."Instead of dealing with this incitement they are giving it an honored place, the same incitement that has led to the recent terrorist attack, and they are also moving forward on a unilateral Palestinian proposal to try and pass a decision in the Security Council, the purpose of which is to bring about a forced settlement that would establish here a second Hamastan and would endanger our security.""This is the same UN the Human Rights Council of which passed dozens of decisions this year against Israel, one decision on Iran and one decision on Syria.""We will continue to insist on our truth and we will also continue to vigorously rebuff attempts to force terms on us that would endanger our security and our future," Netanyahu stressed. "We expect national unity on this national issue."

PA UN Bid to be Postponed for Next Year-PA FM reveals Arab ambassadors mulling unilateral resolution demanding recognition and withdrawals, likely to be put off yet again.By Ari Yashar-First Publish: 12/29/2014, 1:43 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
The council of Arab UN ambassadors gathered on Monday to discuss the Palestinian Authority (PA) resolution set to be proposed at the UN Security Council, unilaterally demanding recognition and Israeli withdrawals - however, the vote on the resolution set for Monday looks to be postponed yet again.Last Friday PA chief negotiator Saeb Erekat announced that the vote would be held that day, or at the latest this Monday. But according to PA foreign minister Riyad Al-Maliki, the vote doesn't seem likely until the new year begins.Al-Maliki told the Palestinian Arab Ma'an News Agency that the amended resolution has not been submitted yet, despite reports to the contrary, according to Walla.The resolution demands UN recognition of the PA as the "state of Palestine," as well as Israeli withdrawals from eastern Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria by 2017, and prior to that a 12-month deadline for wrapping up negotiations on a final settlement.If the council of Arab UN ambassadors agrees to submit the resolution it will be reviewed by the UN Security Council, but Al-Maliki noted that due to the new year many foreign ministries of the Security Council's member states have shut their doors temporarily, indicating the resolution may be put on hold for next year.Al-Maliki emphasized that the PA will try to push the resolution forward in the coming days, but explained the matter isn't dependent on the PA.Likud Central Committee chairman Danny Danon, who is challenging Binyamin Netanyahu for leadership of the party, on Saturday night said that if the UN recognizes the PA as "Palestine," Israel should respond by declaring sovereignty in Judea and Samaria."If on this coming Monday the UN recognizes a Palestinian state, the state of Israel must respond with unilateral steps (as well), including implementing sovereignty," declared Danon.Russia has said it will support the resolution, and while US Secretary of State John Kerry has not publicly stated that Washington would use its veto against the resolution, his spokeswoman recently said the United States will not support the resolution.

Likud Central Committee chairman Danny Danon, who is challenging Binyamin Netanyahu for leadership of the party, on Saturday night called on Israel to respond to an expected UN recognition of the Palestinian Authority (PA) as the "state of Palestine" by declaring sovereignty in Judea and Samaria."We must clarify in the clearest terms to the world that every unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state will bring Israeli sovereignty," declared Danon in a meeting with Likud activists in Judea's Gush Etzion region.Prime among the attendants at the meeting were Kiryat Arba Regional Council head Malakhi Levinger and Deputy Gush Etzion Regional Council head Moshe Savil."When a senior member of the Palestinian Authority, (chief negotiator) Saeb Erekat, dares to claim Israel equals ISIS (Islamic State), it's a sign that truly there is no one to talk with on the Palestinian side," said Danon.Erekat announced last Friday that the UN will likely vote on Monday on a unilateral PA resolution, which demands recognition, Israeli withdrawals from eastern Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria by 2017, and prior to that a 12-month deadline for wrapping up negotiations on a final settlement."If on this coming Monday the UN recognizes a Palestinian state, the state of Israel must respond with unilateral steps (as well), including implementing sovereignty," declared Danon.Russia has said it will support the resolution, and while US Secretary of State John Kerry has not publicly stated that Washington would use its veto against the resolution, his spokeswoman recently said the United States will not support the resolution.Two weeks ago the European Parliament voted to recognize "Palestine," following a string of European nations voting to recognize the PA as a state - the parliamentary vote came the same day Hamas was removed from the European Union's (EU) official terrorist organization list on an alleged "technicality."Danon, who is leading a push to get radical Arab MK Hanin Zoabi disqualified from coming elections, has suggested innovative proposals on another front recently as well. After a Gaza sniper attack on IDF soldiers last Wednesday, he said "for every shot from Gaza, we must take down a Hamas building."

Kahlon Warns Against 'Social Disengagement'-Kulanu party chairman says he believes in "a free market economy - but with social sensitivity".By Shlomo Pitrikovski and Ben Ariel-First Publish: 12/29/2014, 3:15 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Former Likud minister Moshe Kahlon, who is running in the March elections as head of the newly founded Kulanu party, warned Sunday against a “social disengagement” in Israel."In Israel of 2014, the equation is simple: The weaker you are - the more you pay. This situation has to change, and this situation is going to change. I believe in a free market economy - but with social sensitivity,” Kahlon said, speaking at the annual fundraiser of the Reuth Rehabilitation Hospital in Tel Aviv.“The State of Israel is committing another disengagement that we have not noticed - a social disengagement,” he continued. “When I talk about social policy I'm talking about compassion, about caring for others, about providing support where needed, about allowing equal opportunity. As I was told when I was Welfare Minister, ‘A hungry child, you will not find him at age 21 completing an aviation course in the army.’"Kahlon added, "Today I do not know many people who can say to their children, ‘You will have it better.’ We all work, all earn a living, we have all gained an education. The greatest tragedy is that all the barriers and cartels and monopolies prevent us from telling our children that their future will be better. Once upon a time we need help from our parents to buy an apartment, now we need help from our parents in rent and tuition.”Kahlon, one of the most popular ministers in recent years, quit the Likud before the 2013 elections and recently returned with Kulanu, which he has said would focus on economic development and fixing the cost of living crisis.Last week, Israel Prize winner Eli Elaluf announced that he is joining Kulanu.Elaluf, 69, who won the Israel Prize in 2011 for his special contributions to Israeli society and the State, served as the head of the most recent Knesset Committee for Combating Poverty.Another name that has been linked with Kahlon is Professor Manuel Trajtenberg, who headed a special committee appointed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to examine complaints by protestors during the “cottage cheese” protests of summer 2011, when tens of thousands took to the streets to protest the high cost of living in Israel.The Trajtenberg Committee, as the panel became known, recommended a long list of reforms in taxation, construction, reducing the defense budget, increasing minimum wage levels, instituting state-mandated pensions, and a slew of other issues, some of which have been adopted, and others that are still being discussed by the Knesset.Trajtenberg recently informed the Planning and Budgeting Committee of the Council for Higher Education in Israel, which he chaired, that he was resigning in order to throw his hat into the political arena, though he did not specify which party he was planning to join.

Iranian Soldiers Photographed on Lebanon-Israel Border-Iran's military published photos of soldiers on Israel's border with the message: 'with Allah's help, we will trample their bodies.'-By Cynthia Blank-First Publish: 12/28/2014, 9:26 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has published a report documenting photographs of Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers "killing time" at the Lebanon-Israel border.Preliminary information suggests the pictures were taken in October, but were released only recently, along with verbal threats against Israel. Several photographs published contain the caption: "We have arrived to the cursed Israel."The Twitter account linked to the Revolutionary Guards uploaded a number of the pictures on Thursday, with the headline, "The Islamic Republic soldiers are on the border of occupied Palestine."The soldiers' faces were blurred, so as not to be identified.According to MEMRI's reports, the photos were also published a week and a half ago on the Iranian military's website. In this case, the soldiers' faces are visible.The Iranian military's websites showcases photos of soldiers taken in the Bekaa Valley and Baalbek in south Lebanon. "We have come close to the motherland of corruption - the cursed Israel. With Allah's help, we will trample over their bodies" the website writes.In October, the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar said that terrorists from Hezbollah, which controls south Lebanon, could be found operating in the area near the Litani River - in violation of a United Nations resolution.More recently, on Thursday, the Iranian army began a massive military drill sprawling from the farthest eastern expanses of the Islamic regime all the way to its southern maritime borders opposite the principality of Oman, in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Aden.A full 13,000 Iranian soldiers are taking part in the six-day drill, reportedly marking the first time the Iranian navy is conducting a drill so far offshore.Iranian media reported Saturday that Iran has begun running tests on a new weapon in their arsenal: domestically produced exploding "suicide" drones meant to strike targets on land, air and sea.Iranian Navy Commander, Habib Allah Sayyari told a news conference that one of the main objective of the extensive military exercise is to convey a message of peace. He claims that Iran's neighbors need to know that improving the combat capabilities of the Iranian army are not directed toward anyone in particular, but are intended only for the protection of Iran's borders and interests.

Barkat may be appointed Jerusalem affairs minister-Jerusalem mayor said to be in talks with Netanyahu for the post, Channel 10 reports; PMO denies deal in the offing-By Times of Israel staff December 29, 2014, 4:11 am

Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat may soon be appointed as minister of Jerusalem affairs by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.According to a Channel 10 report Sunday, Barkat and Netanyahu have held several meetings on the topic and a legal probe is being undertaken to check whether Barkat can serve as mayor and minister. Barkat, according to the report, has no intention of leaving the Jerusalem mayor’s office.The Prime Minister’s Office told Channel 10 that “such an agreement [between Barkat and Netanyahu] did not exist.” Barkat’s office refused to comment.The report indicated that Netanyahu may consider such a move to counter the Jerusalem deputy mayors’ support for rival Moshe Kahlon who heads the newly formed Kulanu party.Both deputy mayors Yaakov Kahlon, Moshe Kahlon’s brother, and Rami Levy have said they were backing Kulanu. Deputy Mayor Rachel Azaria is said to be in talks with Kahlon to possibly join his party.The Ministry of Jerusalem and Diaspora Affairs is currently held by Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) who is also the economy and religious services minister.

Churchill’s relatives feared he might convert to Islam-Recently discovered letter reveals worry among family that fascination with religion may lead to conversion-By Times of Israel staff December 29, 2014, 2:29 am 3

Relatives of the late Sir Winston Churchill feared he might convert to Islam, a recently discovered letter reveals.A missive written in August 1907 to Churchill by his future sister-in-law Lady Gwendoline Bertie, in which she pleads with him not to convert, was discovered at the University of Cambridge, the Telegraph reported.“Please don’t become converted to Islam; I have noticed in your disposition a tendency to orientalise [fascination with the Orient and Islam], Pasha-like tendencies, I really have,” wrote Bertie, who would later marry Churchill’s brother Jack.“If you come into contact with Islam your conversion might be effected with greater ease than you might have supposed, call of the blood, don’t you know what I mean, do fight against it,” she urged.The letter was discovered by Dr. Warren Dockter, a history research fellow at Cambridge who was conducting research for his book “Winston Churchill and the Islamic World: Orientalism, Empire and Diplomacy in the Middle East.”“Churchill had fought in Sudan and on the North West frontier of India so had much experience on being in ‘Islamic areas’,” Dockter told the Telegraph on Sunday.The British prime minister, a key figure in the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, was a strong admirer of Islam and the “culture of the Orient,” Dockter indicated.“His views of Islamic people and culture were an often paradoxical and complex combination of imperialist perceptions composed of typical orientalist ideals fused with the respect, understanding and magnanimity he had gained from his experiences in his early military career, creating a perspective that was uniquely Churchillian,” he wrote in his book.Despite the fascination however, Churchill is said to have had a limited knowledge of the religion as demonstrated in an incident in which, as colonial secretary during the early 1920s, he asked what the difference was between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

JAKARTA INDONESIAN CHIEF OF THE NATIONAL SEARCH AGENCY FOR QZ 8501.WE ASSUME THE MISSING JET IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE JAVA SEA.DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR.DID THE MALAYSIAN PRESIDENT NOT SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT MH370 EARLY IN ITS INVESTIGATION ALSO BACK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR.

AirAsia plane likely ‘at bottom of the sea,’ says search chief-Head of Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency estimates aircraft carrying 162 people crashed into the water-By AFP December 29, 2014, 4:43 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
The AirAsia plane which went missing with 162 people on board en route for Singapore is likely at the bottom of the sea, Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency chief said Monday.“Based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea, the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea,” Bambang Soelistyo told a press conference.“That’s the preliminary suspicion and it can develop based on the evaluation of the result of our search.”Indonesia had resumed a sea and aerial search at dawn Monday for the plane, as anguished relatives waited desperately for news.The Airbus A320-200 disappeared en route from Surabaya in Indonesia’s east Java to Singapore after the crew requested a change of flight plan due to stormy weather, in the third crisis for a Malaysian carrier this year.Five aircraft will be sent to search for the plane, including two C-130 military transport aircraft and a Boeing 737, Indonesian air force spokesman Hadi Cahyanto told AFP.“Two planes have already left. Three more will follow suit. It is cloudy in some parts but still bright,” Cahyanto said.“We are focusing the search area in the waters on the eastern and northern part of Belitung island.”Australia, Malaysia and Singapore have also joined the search, which is centred on the Java Sea. The US has also said it was ready to assist.A Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orion equipped with sophisticated search equipment took off Monday from the northern Australian city of Darwin while Singapore said it was deploying two C-130 aircraft in addition to naval ships already dispatched.

Distraught relatives

AirAsia said 155 of those on board flight QZ8501 were Indonesian, with three South Koreans and one person each from Singapore, Malaysia, Britain and France. The Frenchman was the co-pilot.
Distraught relatives of the missing passengers spent the night in Surabaya hoping for news of their loved ones.Security was tight at the airport crisis centre, with dozens of security officers and soldiers seen standing guard.Vicky, whose two siblings were on the plane, said he was upset to hear an airline official say he joined in their “sadness”.“What he said was not appropriate at all. If they were sad it means there’s death. But the flight has not been found yet,” he said.Air traffic controllers lost contact with the twin-engine aircraft around an hour after it left Surabaya’s Juanda international airport at about 5:35 am (2220 GMT Saturday).Shortly before disappearing, the pilot asked to ascend by 6,000 feet to 38,000 feet to avoid heavy clouds, according to an Indonesian transport ministry official.“But their request to fly to 38,000 feet from 32,000 feet could not be approved at that time due to traffic, there was a flight above, and five minutes later the flight disappeared from radar,”Djoko Murjatmodjo told a press conference Sunday.“According to our climate radar, the weather was not good. There was enough cumulonimbus (cloud) there,” he said.

Prayers for those onboard

The search is focused on waters around the islands of Bangka and Belitung in the Java Sea, across from Kalimantan on Borneo island, but the army has also been asked to carry out ground searches, including in mountainous areas.The aircraft was operated by AirAsia Indonesia, a unit of Malaysian-based AirAsia which dominates Southeast Asia’s booming low-cost airline market.AirAsia’s flamboyant boss Tony Fernandes, a former record industry executive who acquired the then-failing airline in 2001, arrived in Surabaya, where most of the passengers are from.“Obviously this is a massive shock to us and we are devastated by what has happened. It’s unbelievable,” he told a press conference.“We don’t want to speculate. We don’t know what’s happened yet so we’ll wait for the accident investigation… Our concern right now is for the relatives and the next of kin.”Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo said his nation was “praying for the safety” of those onboard. Vice President Jusuf Kalla was due to visit Surabaya Monday afternoon to meet relatives of those missing.Indonesia, a vast archipelago with poor land transport infrastructure, has seen explosive growth in low-cost air travel over recent years.But the air industry has been blighted by poor safety standards in an area that also experiences extreme weather.AirAsia, which has never suffered a fatal accident, said the missing jet last underwent maintenance on November 16.The plane’s disappearance comes at the end of a disastrous year for Malaysian aviation.Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March with 239 passengers and crew, and in July flight MH17 was shot down over troubled Ukraine killing all 298 on board.

28 December 2014 Last updated at 08:06 ET-Flight QZ8501: What is AirAsia?
By Joe Miller Business reporter-BBC NEWS

Now one of Asia's most successful carriers, AirAsia was once a struggling Malaysian government-owned company.In 2001, former music executive Tony Fernandes bought the heavily-indebted firm for a token sum of 25 cents.Keeping the brand name, he created Asia's first low-cost airline, taking on local established rivals such as Malaysia Airlines and Australia's Qantas.With the slogan "Now Everyone Can Fly", AirAsia now covers approximately 100 destinations across more than 15 countries, although many of these flights are serviced by associates and subsidiaries that use the company's brand name.It is one of these associates, Indonesia AirAsia, which was operating flight QZ8501 from Surabaya to Singapore when it lost contact with air traffic control on Sunday morning.It flies Airbus A320 aircraft along more than 30 routes, to destinations in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Australia.Indonesia AirAsia is 49% owned by the main company, but has a separate chief executive, Sunu Widyatmoko. The rest of the firm is owned by Indonesian shareholders.Indonesia's government prohibits foreign companies from owning the majority of any civil aviation firms.Tony Fernandes The boss of AirAsia Group, Tony Fernandes, is also chairman of Queens Park Rangers football club in the UK.AirAsia's business model is similar to other so-called budget airlines. It offers no business or first class seats, and the average fare is roughly 170 Malaysian ringgit (£30; $48).In the three months to the end of September, the AirAsia group made a pre-tax profit of 26.5m Malaysian ringgit (£4.8m; $7.6m), and carried almost 5.3 million passengers.However, the number of passengers carried by Indonesia AirAsia was down by 10% in the same period, dropping to 1.85 million after the airline cut some of its routes.In 2013, it carried almost 8 million passengers in total.Indonesia AirAsia was set to float on the stock market in the last couple of years, but rising costs and the depreciation of the country's rupiah currency against the US dollar have delayed such a move.Indonesia AirAsia flies just one type of plane - the Airbus single-aisle A320.
The A320 seats between 150 and 180 passengers, and is known for its distinctive wingtips, which were designed to make the aircraft more fuel efficient.Airbus says the A320 used on flight QZ8501 had accumulated some 23,000 flight hours over 13,600 flights.

line-Analysis: Sharanjit Leyl, BBC News, Singapore

AirAsia's brand image is closely tied with its chief executive, Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes, who took over operations in 2001. Almost always in jeans and an AirAsia cap when interviewed, Mr Fernandes was seen as Malaysia's answer to Richard Branson.In the same way that Mr Branson took on the dominance of British Airways in the 1980s, Mr Fernandes wanted to compete with established long-haul carriers in the region - like Malaysia's own flag carrier, Malaysian Airlines.He's listed as one of the richest men in Malaysia and has always been adept at spinning his marketing message out to the media. With this plane's disappearance, he's wasted no time in tweeting out messages of support to the family and has already arrived in Surabaya along with members of the Indonesian affiliate of AirAsia.

Indonesia set to resume search for missing AirAsia plane, relatives wait-By Eveline Danubrata and Michael Taylor-JAKARTA Sun Dec 28, 2014 4:43pm EST

(Reuters) - Indonesia was set to resume at first light the search for an AirAsia plane carrying 162 people from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore, which went missing on Sunday just after the pilot requested a change in course to avoid bad weather.Singapore said it had sent two naval vessels to help the Indonesian military look for the Airbus (AIR.PA) A320-200 operated by Indonesia AirAsia, adding a C-130 air force plane took part in the search on Sunday.Malaysia would send three naval vessels and a C-130 to assist, Singapore's Channel News Asia television reported. Australia, the United States, Britain, South Korea and India also offered help ranging from planes and navy ships to experts and investigators."We are deeply shocked and saddened by this incident," said Indonesia AirAsia Chief Executive Sunu Widyatmoko. "We are cooperating with the relevant authorities to the fullest extent to determine the cause of this incident."The carrier is 49 percent owned by Malaysia-based budget carrier Air Asia (AIRA.KL). The AirAsia group, including affiliates in Thailand, the Philippines and India, has not suffered a crash since its Malaysian budget operations began in 2002.Onboard Flight QZ8501 were 155 Indonesians, three South Koreans, one person each from Singapore, Malaysia and Britain, while the co-pilot was French.The plane was about halfway between Surabaya and Singapore when it lost contact with air traffic control at 6:17 a.m. on Sunday (1917 GMT Saturday), Indonesian officials said.It issued no distress call, officials added.There was bad weather over nearby Belitung island at the time and the aircraft had been flying at 32,000 feet before asking to fly at 38,000 feet to avoid clouds, said Joko Muryo Atmodjo, air transportation director at Indonesia's transport ministry.The pilot "was requesting deviation due to en-route weather before communication with the aircraft was lost", the airline added.The Indonesian pilot was experienced and the plane last underwent maintenance in mid-November, the airline said. The aircraft had accumulated about 23,000 flight hours in some 13,600 flights, according to Airbus.Malaysia AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes flew to Surabaya and, along with Indonesian officials, updated distraught relatives of passengers at a makeshift crisis center at the airport in Indonesia's second-largest city."This is my worst nightmare," Fernandes said on Twitter. "But there's no stopping", he said of the search.AirAsia swapped the distinctive bright red of its logo for gray on social media accounts and the company website as it faced its biggest ever challenge.The incident caps a disastrous year for Malaysia-affiliated airlines. Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 went missing on March 8 on a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew on board and has not been found.On July 17, the same airline's Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.

PRAYING FOR PASSENGERS

Indonesian President Joko Widodo urged his people to pray for the safety of the passengers and crew. During his Sunday address at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, Pope Francis said those on board were in his prayers.Louise Sidharta was at Singapore's Changi Airport waiting for her fiancée to return from a family holiday."It was supposed to be their last vacation before we got married," she said.A man named Purnomo told TVOne in Surabaya of his lucky escape. "I should have been on the flight ... but this morning I had an emergency. I had my passport in hand."Like all affiliates of AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia operates Airbus jets, of which it has 30 of the A320 model.AirAsia has ordered several hundred jets from the European planemaker, making it one of its most important customers. The missing plane has been in service for just over six years, according to airfleets.net.Indonesian officials from the civil aviation authority and transport safety committee, which are responsible for crash investigations, arrived in Surabaya on Sunday. A transport ministry official said Indonesia would handle the probe."The aircraft was registered in Indonesia and it looks to be missing over Indonesian territory, so we will lead the investigation," said the official, who asked not to be named as he was not authorized to speak to the media."We have the expertise to do this."(Additional reporting by Gayatri Suroyo in SURABAYA, Chris Nusatya, Cindy Silviana and Kanupriya Kapoor in JAKARTA, Al-Zaquan Amer Hamzah and Praveen Menon in KUALA LUMPUR, Siva Govindasamy, Saeed Hassan, Rujun Shen and Anshuman Daga in SINGAPORE, Sanjeev Miglani in NEW DELHI, Tim Hepher in PARIS, Alwyn Scott in NEW YORK and Philip Pullella in ROME; Writing by Martin Petty and Simon Webb; Editing by Dean Yates)

Ferry being towed to Italy with hundreds still awaiting airlift-Reuters-By Renee Maltezou-DEC 28,14-YAHOONEWS
ATHENS (Reuters) - Italian and Greek helicopter crews worked into the night to airlift passengers off a burning ferry adrift in the Adriatic Sea, battling darkness and bad weather that hampered rescue efforts by other ships throughout Sunday.Helicopters were plucking passengers off the Italian-flagged Norman Atlantic and transferring them to a nearby vessel, after a dramatic day that began when a fire broke out on its lower deck in the early hours.Authorities said one Greek man had died and there were reports of four injured among 478 passengers and crew and as night fell. Italian authorities said 172 people were clear of the danger zone.Greek Shipping Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis said the fire now appeared to be partly under control and said the ship would be towed to Italy after an official said it would go to an Albanian port. Italian officials said it would probably be taken to either Brindisi or Otranto on the southern coast once towing cables could be securely attached.The airlifts would continue while the boat was being towed towards port, and rescue workers would try to get closer by boat to bring people off if conditions allowed, he said."It will be a very difficult night and I hope that everything will go well and we will rescue all passengers and all crew members," Varvitsiotis told reporters.The Italian navy said two Italian airforce helicopters, one Greek Superpuma helicopter and an Italian plane were taking part in the rescue, winching up passengers in small groups. Other aircraft and 10 ships were also taking part in the operation in support roles.Earlier, Greek coastguard spokesman Nikos Lagkadianos said the heavy rain that was hampering the rescue had helped contain the fire although the ship was still burning.Terrified passengers told how they had to move higher and higher in the ship to escape the flames."We went to the deck where there were life boats, but at some point we felt the floor burning and we went higher up to the heliport," Rania Fireou told Greek television by phone before the airlifts began."There are many children and elderly people aboard," she said. "We have gathered all together and we are trying to warm ourselves."

COMPLICATED RESCUE

Varvitsiotis said the bad weather, with winds of up to 55 mph (88 kph) earlier, made the operation one of the most complex Greek authorities had been involved in and vowed that no one would be left behind.Coastguard officials said the Norman Atlantic, which was also carrying more than 200 vehicles, was 44 nautical miles northwest of the island of Corfu when it radioed for help. It had been traveling from Patras in western Greece to the Italian city of Ancona.Command of the operation was transferred to Italy after winds took the helpless vessel out of Greek waters but officials were coordinating closely and an Albanian coastguard vessel was also taking part.A coastguard official said nearby passenger and container ships had attempted to form a ring around the burning vessel to try to form a windbreak to allow small rescue boats to approach.Officials said most of the passengers were Greek but the passenger list included names from several other countries including Germany, Italy, Austria, Turkey, France and the Netherlands. Many appeared to be truck drivers.The fire broke out in the lower deck garage of the vessel but there were differing accounts of when it started. Initial reports said the fire began at around 6.00 a.m. (0400 GMT) but Italian officials put the time at 4.30 a.m.The Norman Atlantic is a 26,900-tonne, roll-on roll-off ferry chartered by Greek ferry company ANEK. According to marine traffic data, it was built in 2009 and previously operated in Italy. ANEK said in a statement it was cooperating with rescue authorities.(Additional reporting by Angeliki Koutantou, Alkis Konstantinidis, Lefteris Papadimas and Benet Koleka in Vlore and Gavin Jones in Rome; Writing by James Mackenzie; Editing by Alison Williams)
