On February 21 , 2007 Flight 172 , an Adam Air Boeing 737-300 aircraft flying from Jakarta to Surabaya with registration PK-KKV ( c/n 27284 ) , had a hard landing at Juanda International Airport . The incident caused the fuselage of the plane to crack and bend at the middle , with the tail of the plane drooping towards the ground . There were no reports of serious injuries from the incident . Subsequent flights to the airport were diverted to alternate airports . As a result , six Adam Air 737s were grounded awaiting safety checks , but five of these were then put back in regular service . Adam Air described this as " harsh punishment " for an accident it blamed on poor weather conditions , but Vice President Jusuf Kalla has said that all Boeing 737-300s should be checked
