Indonesian authorities have called off the search for victims of Tuesday’s deadly military plane crash which has claimed the lives of more than 140.
The Hercules C-130B had 122 passengers when it crashed in the Sumatran city of Medan a short time after takeoff, killing all on board and several residents on the ground.
The cause of the crash has been attributed to engine failure.
Military officials are also investigating allegations the military flight included civilians as paying passengers.
The crash has prompted President Joko Widodo to review the condition and age of its air force fleet.
The downed Hercules plane was over 50 years old.
"The incident in Medan shows that the military’s transport equipment needs to be renewed soon," said politician T.B. Hasanuddin.
"We advise the government to buy newer aircraft rather than used ones even if they are more expensive," he said.
It is the latest in a long line of deadly aviation incidents in the country – both military and civilian.
Last December an AirAsia jet crashed between the Indonesia city of Surabaya and Singapore, killing all 162 passengers and crew on board.
