According to the Indonesian Transportation Ministry, the country's National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) is collecting flight data and planning to lift the body of the downed Boeing 737 aircraft to the beach.

Founded in 1999, Lion Air has quickly become Indonesia’s top low-cost carrier, holding about a 45 percent market share in the country.
