It was indeed a -400; this aircraft only joined Sriwijaya on 22nd November! Previously, it was stored for a while after being with BremenFly, then before that Olympic as SK-BKN and N401KW with Carnival. LN 2380. In service since Oct 1992.

A 734 has a different window pattern with 13-1-3 windows in front of the overwing exit (right side). 733 has 12-5 on the right side, like the one in the photo (first window near front door plugged). So, it must be a 733!

Quoting RJLover (Reply 4): Please note, the IATA code for Yogyakarta is JOG.
YOG appears to be a tiny little "airport" in Northern Ontario, Canada.
Thanks, my mistake. It has been corrected already by our moderators.
Quoting Viscount724 (Reply 9): The aircraft in the photos is clearly a -300 as already mentioned by others.
I believe you, but it was not so clear for me, the pics are blurry to say the least, but I guess it was my mistake again.
But 400 or 300, is a classic anyway
According to the article, that was a long ride for the passengers. They aborted a first landing in JOG, then diverted to Solo where they aborted the approach too, landed in Surabaya, and after refueling departed to Yogyakarta again, only to overran the runway after landing

Glad it wasn't more serious.
Quoting rl757pvd (Reply 1): Thats quite the burm right near the runway... thats why we have runway safety area standards here in the US...
Looks to me like it is a road descending through a shallow cutting, not an embankment. Doubt it meets ICAO regs though, the clearway and RESAs certainly don't.

AvHerald has amended the aircraft...
737-36N cn 28333 / ln 2810, delivered to Virgin Express as OO-VEB back in 1996 and has spent time at quite a few airlines including Pace here in the US (N374PA).

I find the comments section of the article amusing, mostly about how to egress via the slides. I wonder if one of them have ever egressed an aircraft on the slide. I can say I have many times. We have to test slide deployment and of course we HAVE to slide down them (for fun). It is not a big deal, really. I guess if you didn't remove high heels it might be a problem. There's just too many folks who comment on things they no absolutely nothing about. JMO.
Indeed.. And thank god there's no serious injury's either
But, The there is two things bugging me.. On a local Indonesian news article, It says that The aircraft was flown by one of Sriwijaya Airlines Senior pilots
And JOG airport is re-open now.. but the plane hasn't been moved yet.. Its still in the same place where it is yesterday.. Is it going to disturb an inbound or an outbound airplane?
