Aircraft Collision with Mount Puncak Jaya in Papua (X-11)

Incident Overview and Search Operations During poor weather conditions, an aircraft collided with Mount Puncak Jaya, a peak in Papua that reaches an elevation of 4,160 meters. The aircraft was en route to Biak Airport but failed to arrive at its destination. Following the loss of contact, search and rescue operations were initiated to locate the aircraft and its occupants. However, these efforts were suspended after several days because no trace of the aircraft or its eight crew members could be found. The wreckage was eventually located in 1969 on the south slope of the mountain. The source does not specify the aircraft type, registration, operator, exact date of the incident, or the cause of the collision.
