South Korea's foreign ministry said Sunday that at least three South Koreans were on board an AirAsia plane that went missing en route from Indonesia to Singapore, Yonhap reported.
The ministry said that a South Korean man and a woman in their 30s, and an infant were among the 162 passengers and crew members on AirAsia's flight QZ8501 that lost contact with Jakarta's air traffic control after takeoff early Sunday.
The foreign ministry said it convened an emergency meeting to address the issue, saying that it will monitor progress in the search operations for the missing plane.
"The Seoul government plans to closely watch related authorities' search operations and will study various options, including the dispatch of a response team," Lee Jeong-gwan, ambassador for overseas Koreans and consular affairs, said at the opening of the meeting.
