It is feared that the CASA C-212 aircraft, 18 on board, has crashed somewhere near the North Sumatran village of Bahorok.
The rescue and emergency teams have already been dispatched to the probable site of crash, government officials said.
According to Bambang Ervan, a spokes person Indonesian Transport Ministry, the plane was on its way between North Sumatra and Aceh provinces, a flight not more than an hour.
