The aircraft, an Airbus A320-200 registered PK-SAW, is maintaining track to Jakarta, and is currently cruising at 10,000 feet.
The aircraft had departed Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) on the Indonesian island of Bali and climbed to an altitude of FL290 (29,000) before initiating a descent to 10,000 feet.
A descent to 10,000 may be suggestive of a pressurisation problem, though it must be stressed that no formal report of the nature of the emergency is as yet available.
