After an aborted take-off at high speed, the pilots were unable to stop the 737 before the end of the runway (Lengh: 2700 meters). The aircraft overran by a few meters and came to rest within the runway safety area which is paved. None of the passengers or crewmembers were injured. The pilots then made an attempt to turn the aircraft around when at least one maingear leg departed paved surface and the 737 became immobile.

On landing runway 19, the nosegear apparently gave way and dug in rearwards. The Convair drifted to the left but came to rest within runway on its nose near. There were no reports about any injuries among the crewmembers. According to pictures, the left propeller was sheared off after it came into ground contact. High energy debris from the propeller blades hit the left fuselage resulting in substantial damage. Given the age of the aircraft, it is unlikely the Convair will be repaired again. Traffic at La Aurora Airport came to a halt until the aircraft was removed.

The aircraft was performing a demonstration flight when it disappeared off radar screens near Mount Salak and was declared missing. Before it went missing, the pilots were given clearance to descend from 10000 ft. to 6000 ft. Search helicopters found the scattered wreckage the following morning on the northern slopes of Mount Salak at an altitude of 5300 ft ASL. There were no survivors. At the time, the Superjet was on an demonstration tour through some asian-pacific countries to gain attention to potential customers. Jakarta was the 4th stop on the journey, The majority of passengers were representatives of potential customers and also a number of journalists. Local weather at the time was favourable with sufficient visibility and no precipitation. The aircraft was on its 2nd flight of the day, it took off from Halim Airport around 14:00L. There is speculation that the terrain awareness system TAWS was malfunctioning or may have been disengaged by the pilots before the flight.
