'''Air Nidwalden Flight 180''' (also known as '''AI180''' or '''AIN180''') was a scheduled international passenger flight operated by [[Air Nidwalden]] between the cities of [[Nidwalden|Saint Moritz]] and [[Jakarta]] with a stopover in [[Valkea|Källälivi]]. The flight maintained communication with {{wp|air traffic control}} until 19:00, several hours after its take-off from [[Nidwalden]], and remained in the radars for some more six minutes until at 19:06 the aircraft was lost from ATC screens. According to initial reports made by official sources<ref>Air Nidwalden [ @AirNid ] (13 December 2019). [https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=36526655#p36526655 "Initial Tweet informing about the situation"] ''Via Twitter'' - Cologne, [[Nidwalden]]</ref>, the last position of the flight happened over the [[Atlpacinarcticadian Ocean]], between the coasts of [[Aswick]] and [[Maqtajer]] still while flying to its first destination, [[Källälivi]].

The search of the aircraft started immediately after the release from the airline and [[Lorcontrol]] that they had lost contact with the plane. Via Tweeter, [[Charlotte Mann]], [[Prime Minister of Nidwalden]] announced the instructions for the mobilisation of the Nidwaldester Air Force to a previously delimited area in the ocean where [[Lorcontrol]] received the last contact; the measure was followed by [[Rudolf Schoorl]], [[Noordenstaat|Prime Minister of Noordenstaat]] and [[Antje Moeljani]], his [[Hindia Belanda|Hindian Belandan]] counterpart, who agreed in mobilising naval ships and aircraft from the [[LCNAVFOR|Sector Beta]] of the anti-piracy missions of the [[Lorecian Community]]. The search of the aircraft rapidly became one of the most intense and costly as private companies were reunited in [[Nidwalden]] to form, together with civil and military aviation specialists, a Joint Investigation Team.
